Principles underlying Sec 2 Streaming Process (Normal Technical)

• Our basic approach is to provide a set of courses in which you can score well and which will allow you the widest choice of course at the next level.

• The school is determined to help every BPIAN to achieve this target.

• We will work with parents to get a win-win situation for every one of you.

• It is important to realise that having more subjects does NOT guarantee getting a better L1B2.

• It is better to take six subjects and get As than take seven subjects and score a mixture of As and Bs.
