Do you support charter schools?

Focus on improving school now, by improving teachers conditions to ensure retention of good teachers and eradicate toxic management of schools.

No, the schools we have now need to b improved big time and teachers need to b better educated on all pupils not just txt book kids

give parents voucher towards schools of their choice if not in public sector...but regulated schools

No, private schools should be privately run and the state should instead support the return of a selective education system and the reintroduction of grammar schools

Yes so long as it is proven the education provider will provide equal if not better outcomes to the pupils and that the funds are fully invested in providing for those best outcomes.

Education should not be privatised; we should focus on improving public schools and increasing teacher wages instead

No. And we should focus on improving our public schools and completely overhauling our education system. It’s not fit for purpose anymore. More autonomy should be given to the teachers

Yes, but as long as they met a certain set of standards and it should be in addition to funding state schools rather than diverting money away from them.

Yes as long as they follow strict national curriculum standards and funding per pupil equal to the amount of funding to other schools

Yes, but isn’t a shame the U.K. government can’t seem to run the school system. This should not be required, yet is working in many cases.

Yes, as long as they are accessible for everyone regardless of their income due to tuition waivers and income based tuition.

The curriculum needs to be changed learn children how to grow and cook food, how to mange money, life skills, the importance of early attachment, exercise daily, swimming, life’s saving and basic medical knowledge, how to decorate and garden how to live rather than reading Romeo and Juliet, which adults use algebra

No. We should be more focused on improving our education system in terms of content and how it is delivered to the youth. Also, we should be focused on improving public schools and increasing teacher wages but not at the sacrifice for the school’s budget.

We need more specialised schools for neurodivergent and traumatised kids, specific religions, more vocational schools for kids not so academic , music /arts focus and better pastoral support, trauma informed staff ONTOP of teachers who should be allowed to teach in their own way not just all taught the same so it brings love and passion back into education.

No Education should not be privateised. We should focus on improving resources and teachers wages in public schools.

We should be focused on funding state schools and improving the educational opportunities for the masses—programmes for those of particular aptitudes in various areas—including those of which are vocational—should also be considered—though the entrance into said programs should also be not solely credited through standardised testing.

Yes, But we should focus on improving the quality of public schools and increasing teacher wages.

I am unsure what it is

Yes, but only if they are non-profit, not at the expense of funding public schools, education should not be privatised and we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead

I don’t think you should have to pay for a child’s education but I also think our education system should be changed drastically.

No but all immigrants should pay for school through insurance

No; education should not be privatized and we should focus on improving our public schools and providing more resources for schools and their staff.

Dont’t Know

Yes but only in part privatisation with the rest of ownership by the local authority.

Don’t know what they are!

Yes, but only if they are non-profit and non-religious

yes but there should be near to nothing public spending on the

private schools are a good idea but they shouldn't be publically funded. Also public schools should still exist.

I would support any initiative that improved the quality and range of educational choices in available

Yes, but our education system shouldn't be privatized. Charter schools releasing us from the rules of a regular school & adapted to fit each student rather than a factory for the same mindset.

schools should not be government funded or lead.

Yes and introduce taxed education vouchers.

Schools funded by the state should come under local government control and not profiteers or sectarian schooling.

Yes, but only if they are better regulated and provide at least the same quality education as a public school

The educational system has failed for generations.

What on earth is a charter school?

if parents want t osend there kids to these type of schools then why not

Primary focus should be to improve existing schools and if they do come in to place they should not be for profit with proceeds going towards tax with allowance for investment in facilities only. Wages to staff should be comparable as to not detract from quality of teachers choosing to go to public schools.

If people wish to use them they should be at a cost and no public funding should be put towards it. Our public schools need to be better supported!

I don’t have enough information to make a decision

No we should focus on improving the schools education system in general

Abolish all private schools

No, the public education system should be ran by the state/state-owned businesses, student's individual needs should be payed more attention to in all schools anyhow

No, we should focus on improving public schools.

No, but private schools should still be allowed.

Yes as long as they can provide equal or better education as state schools

Yes if you want to send your child

Depends on the nature of the school's governance. If the school is democratically controlled, with all members of the school community collectively owning the school, then yes. If it means the school will fall into being controlled by a small clique in place of democratic accountability, then no.

Privatise entire education system but provide some financial subsidies and assistance for children of households in low income brackets

No, and education should not be privatised. However, free schools should still remain.

Yes but should not be accountable for results.

Wages and school when the government is alone theme and schoolshot

Yes, and our education system should be privatised more

Only in part privatisation with the rest of ownership by the local authority.

Yes, but only if they are non-profit, not at the expense of funding public schools and education should not be privatised

All Schools should be Run by the Church of England to teach Children how to Respect and Obey God.

No, education should remain public but also needs improving as well as increasing teacher wages.

Yes but public school wages should be increased

No, and abolish the market economy

Yes, but only while also focusing on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages

Yes, but there should be more public schools than charter schools.

I do not understand the question

This would be raised in public debate and could be voted on via Liquid Democracy.

Should parents be allowed to choose which school their child attends, even if it means the public funding is distributed unevenly?

How might the presence of charter schools affect the community where you live, both positively and negatively?

Do you think it’s fair for public school systems to compete with charter schools for funding, or does one naturally deserve more resources?

If a charter school promised smaller class sizes but less funding for extracurricular activities, would that be a good trade-off for you?

Do you think schools should be allowed to make a profit, or should education be seen as a public service that isn’t focused on money?

How do you feel about the idea that some students have better educational opportunities because they can attend a charter school while others cannot?

What factors would make you choose (or avoid) attending a charter school if given the chance?

Do you believe schools should be more like businesses, or should they remain under public control, and why?

How do you think the quality of your education would change if your school was privately managed?

If charter schools result in higher test scores for students, does that mean our public education system should adopt similar methods?
