    "content": "There has been too much obsession from certain schools and teachers on the ranking. This has led to lack of development of other strong points from students, for example development of students with talents. There has been too much emphasis on academics and ignoring the other aspects. I would rather have an all-round student with proper social and life skills rather than have a first class robot. We need to approach this issue of ranking very carefully. I do not know whether ranking is the best practice. I do not know which other countries take this sort of approach to education. I wonder why most of the commissions which have been set up to look into various aspects of education, including ranking, have usually recommended that ranking be done away with. I do not see how ranking will fit in the future of our education system. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have all been talking about universal education where our children will start from pre-school and go all the way to Form Four. So, if you want to rank schools at Standard Eight, I do not see the purpose it will serve."
