Very strongly agree

Nr

The SSP is likely to strongly agree with this statement as it aligns with their stance on keeping education within the public sector and ensuring it is funded and controlled by the government. They have historically opposed privatization and market-based solutions for public services, advocating instead for these services to be maintained as public goods for the benefit of all, rather than subject to the efficiencies or interests of private entities.

No, free schools divert money away from existing schools

This statement aligns closely with the SSP's views on education funding and the impact of diverting public funds to private initiatives like free schools. They argue that such actions weaken the existing public education system by reducing the resources available to state schools, which serve the majority of children. The SSP supports increased investment in public education and would oppose measures that they believe could harm the quality of education provided by existing public schools.

Very strongly disagree

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) traditionally supports public services, including education, being run by the state rather than private entities or initiatives. They argue that education should be a public good accessible to all, rather than subject to market forces or privatization efforts. The concept of using public money to start 'free schools,' which could be managed privately, runs counter to their platform of maintaining strong, publicly funded, and accessible educational services.

Yes, free schools will create more local competition and increase standards

The SSP would strongly disagree with the notion that free schools create more local competition and increase standards. They argue that education should not be treated as a market commodity and that introducing competition undermines the principle of equal access to quality education for all. The party believes in a cooperative approach to improving education standards, rather than competition, which they see as leading to inequality and a diversion of resources away from where they are most needed.
