Strongly agree

No, free schools divert money away from existing schools

This stance aligns with Volt UK's likely perspective on public education as a fundamental right that should be supported and funded adequately by the government. They would probably agree that diverting money away from existing schools to fund 'free schools' could undermine the quality and accessibility of education for everyone, reflecting a preference for investing in and improving the existing public education infrastructure.

Agree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance and emphasis on social investment, it is plausible they would oppose the idea of using public money to start 'free schools' if it means diverting funds from existing public schools. They might argue for more equitable funding across the public education sector to ensure high standards of education for all, rather than creating a competitive market of schools.

Strongly disagree

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

Volt UK Party's progressive policies likely align with the belief in a strong, equitable public education system rather than creating competition among schools.
