　　Passage 69
　　If the pressures of selection at 16 were removed, secondary education could become a different process altogether.// And children under a less compulsory system would actually learn more and the be more cooperative with parents and school.// They would be happier and more creative, and therefore more useful to the society.// I’m sure you will agree with today’s motion that the system existing today is harmful to our children and therefore must be changed.//
