Would you support the return of a selective education system and the reintroduction of grammar schools?

The education system is broken and focuses on validating based on numbers. We are currently marked on if we copy a marking system not knowledge or opinion. It's damaging to people and capatlises on young people rather than nurture. It gives limited outcomes and religious private schools should be made illegal.

Tf does that mean?

No, and abolish private education

No, and all fee paying schools should be part of the state system.

I don’t really care

potentially

Yes, and introduce school choice for parents

Yes but increase funding for comprehensive schools

Yes, in early years we understand that all children don’t fit into one box and therefore think a similar approach needs to be introduced into schools. With an addition to life learning lessons such as sign language in primary schools. Mending clothes. How to look after their money in secondary school and how to mend a car.

Schools havent changed too much in a long time. As the world is changing and credentionals are becoming less important , i think the focus needs to be on the strengths of children but a

No, But start using a system like they have in Finland, or other countries which have the best results

I would have any one who wasn’t very good at school work learn a trade as I did , years ago many couldn’t read or write but were best tradespeople ever

I really hate the way our educational system is run. We are failing children left right and centre. Children do cope well sat in a classroom, my children hate school. This is a real shame, because it should be fun, exciting, enchanting and children should be able to learn through play, experitmenting, interprating and shown what skills, atributes will help them in ways they never imagined. I also think getting children outside more, in what ever the weather letting them take the lead with basic equipment would have a huge advantage. I think this could potentially save next the generations of children and maybe support the ever growing statistics of ADHD and Autism. Majority of children in the UK, have some form of a electriconic. Lets make that less in schools, and get them DOING more. They will learn through DOING.

Not necessarily, schools should all be given the same curriculum and funding but students who needs more support should be able to obtain it and "gifted" students should be able to access accelerated learning. However there should be less of a focus on grades and academic excellence.

The education system needs revamping completely. Stop trying to fit all kids in one box. Have more nurturing subjects like looking after animals, fixing bikes/cars etc

education should not be based on income, location or who your family is. There should be a standard and for those that need extra support should be able to get it. I like the finnish system of education where if you want the school to do well you invest in your child and the facilities.

I believe all forms of private education or "better" education should be abolished and instead convert all schools into the exact same public schools, with the exact same curriculums, timetable system and so on, all things required for students such as food and medical care should be free, all educations are equal with the goal of educating better and better (this is an exception for schools for children with special needs)

schools should be split into schools based upon the students skills, this being practical like building or gardening or more smarts based schools, aswell as giving everyone a chance no matter background.

No, schools are out dated. Children need to be taught relevant things. How to budget instead of algebra. Etc

Reintroducing grammar school is not the answer, however education needs to be changed, there needs to be a bigger emphasis on the arts, just like the more academic subjects

Abolish private schools, keep grammar schools.

Yes as long as there are good non selective schools as well

Yes, but state schools need some changes aswell

Stop focusing on “classing” young children into thinking they’re not enough at such a young age as this kind of competition and “intelligence status” creates a lot of mental issues and unhappiness and it’s not a one rule fits all

I believe children should have the best education, but this can be bespoke to suit individuals needs. The current system is failing both academic & non- academic children.

yes as well schools who tailor for trades

no i do not, as well as removal private schooling together, all uk born children must attened public based schooling, which can recive denotations from parenting groups

Selective education at 14. More alternative provision.

Do not know enough to make a good decision

It should be on their general work not a test, because that causes stress.

Schools should evolve to different types of education because everyone learns differently

Everyone should have access to top-quality education, if introducing grammar school meant more focused classroom, with equal opportunities then yes.

Government should not provide public education.

A reform of the grammar school system which requires a certain percentage intake of students from lower income backgrounds.

as long as it doesn't disadvantage anyone

No, focus and adapt to progress.

Yes but provide more funding for comprehensive schools

yes but increase funding for comprehensive schools as well as reform the entrance exam for grammar schools to make it more reflective of a students intelligence and hard work rather than their memory

Yes + removing private schools

No, education should be the great leveller in society. Irrespective of where in the nation someone is born, or their family wealth, every child should have an education to equips them to achieve and aspire to whatever they want to achieve in life.

I’m somewhere in the centre

Everyone should have the same opportunities with their education because in todays society if your rich then you get an easier shot than someone who isnt rich which is totally wrong and i seriously cant believe this.

Schools should be given funding and facilities to be able to challenge all pupils and let them achieve their best in a wider range of subjects, including practical skills, giving every area equal prestige.

Yes but Increase funding for comprehensive schools

Maybe, but carefully with multiple opportunities at different ages - maybe 12, 13 and 14 - but only for those who choose to take part and not just written exam based. All schools standards across the board should be high though.

No, introduce vocational education.

Yes, but make sure vocational courses are viewed as equally important to academic subjects

yes, provided that there is no discrimination against lower income students / families and no unfair priority for higher income students / families. The selection should be entirely intelligence based, and there should be no gender segregation (ie all boys / all girls).

I think some schools should be selective based on academic abilities
