Proceeding contribution from Nick Gibb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

The hon. Lady uses the term, ““rigid””. Setting is by definition flexible—that is how it differs from streaming. The more homogenous a particular group of children is, the easier it is to teach them and the better able one is to tailor the curriculum to that particular set level. There is a philosophical divide between us—I will not be able to convince the hon. Lady—but I hope that through these debates we can convince the public that this is the kind of education that we want for our children.
