Slightly agree

No, focus on improving current standards instead

While UKIP emphasizes the importance of improving educational standards, their specific advocacy for the reintroduction of grammar schools suggests a preference for structural changes to the education system over simply focusing on improving current standards within the existing framework. However, they might see value in improving standards as a complementary approach.

Strongly disagree

No

Given UKIP's support for the reintroduction of grammar schools, they would likely disagree with outright opposition to selective education. They believe that a selective system can coexist with other forms of education to provide a diverse and tailored educational landscape.
