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.
