The
chairwoman of the Dutch Education Council, Henriette Maassen-Van den Brink,
said that first year secondary school pupils should be taught in mixed ability classes. In
that way they get to know people from a wider section of society. Another
problem is that many Dutch secondary schools, particularly in cities, no longer
offer a mix of academic streams and children are segregated from other ability
groups. People end up living in their own clubs and that can create a schism in
society.
