A teachers' union leader is advocating for high schools to ditch streaming, which arranges students into classes based on their perceived ability.
It's been shown to be particularly harmful to Maori and Pacific children, and schools that have abandoned the practice have seen improvements.
The PPTA's vice president Chris Abercrombie says his pitch to stop streaming has garnered a positive response from members at the organisation's annual conference.
He's optimistic they'll vote to support the stance later this week.
Abercrombie spoke to Susie Ferguson.
