"content": "I stand to vigorously oppose this Motion for three reasons. One, ranking should not be mistaken or abused for grading which is totally a separate item. Ranking has been abused by teachers because everybody is trying to get to the headlines. What the teachers have resorted to is to be giving exams to children like food. You give exams in the morning, over lunch time and then at 5.00 p.m. We are not going to produce children, the so-called test tube children that were referred to somewhere in the United Kingdom. We do not want that. Malcolm Forbes said that the purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open mind. We are not here to replace an empty mind with competition. We are preparing our children so that they can navigate life in future. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
