Strongly agree

No, focus on improving current standards instead

This answer aligns closely with the SDP's educational philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of improving education for all rather than segregating students based on ability. Focusing on raising current standards across the board is more in line with the party's goals of social equality and inclusivity. This approach suggests a belief in the potential of all students, regardless of their background or abilities, which is a core principle of social democracy.

Agree

No

Given the SDP's focus on social justice and reducing inequalities, they would likely oppose the reintroduction of grammar schools, which are seen by many as promoting social division by separating children based on academic ability. This stance aligns with the party's broader educational and social policies aimed at inclusivity. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party might not have a unified or explicit stance against grammar schools, and there could be variations in opinion among its members.

Disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the UK, historically and in its modern form, tends to support policies that aim at reducing social inequalities and promoting inclusive education. The reintroduction of grammar schools, which are selective, could be seen as contrary to these principles, as it might lead to increased segregation based on academic ability from a young age. However, the score is not -5 because there might be some within the party who see value in selective education for promoting excellence.
