(UK, education) Divided into academic streams.
In British educational usage, streamed describes a school or year group divided into separate classes based on academic ability — typically 'top stream,' 'middle stream,' and 'bottom stream.' The British equivalent of 'tracked' in American terminology. The practice is contentious in UK education debates: proponents argue it allows teachers to pitch lessons appropriately; critics say it entrenches disadvantage. The term carries ideological weight alongside its descriptive function.
