Strongly agree

Yes, but allow flexibility for non-core subjects

This answer aligns well with the Conservative party's stance on education. They support a standard curriculum for state schools, but also recognize the need for flexibility in non-core subjects. For example, the 2019 Conservative party manifesto pledged to 'ensure that every school teaches a broad and balanced curriculum, including the arts and sport.' This suggests that they support a standard curriculum with some flexibility for non-core subjects.

Yes, but allow flexibility for non-core subjects

This answer aligns closely with the Conservative Party's education policies, which support a standard curriculum for core subjects to ensure all students meet certain educational standards, while also allowing for flexibility in non-core subjects to cater to local needs and interests.

This is evident in their support for the National Curriculum, which sets out the framework for teaching in England. However, their support is not absolute, as they also advocate for some level of school autonomy.
