Very strongly agree

No, focus on improving current standards instead

Sinn Féin would strongly agree with this answer, as they have consistently called for improvements to the current education system rather than a return to a selective system. They believe that focusing on improving current standards, reducing class sizes, and providing better resources for schools would be more beneficial for all students. For example, in their 2020 general election manifesto, Sinn Féin pledged to reduce class sizes, increase investment in schools, and provide additional support for students with special educational needs.
