Strongly agree

Yes

The Ulster Unionist Party has historically supported selective education and grammar schools. In 2016, the party's education spokesperson, Rosemary Barton, expressed support for academic selection and grammar schools, stating that they provide opportunities for social mobility. However, the party has not been as vocal on this issue in recent years, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Agree

No, focus on improving current standards instead

While the Ulster Unionist Party has supported selective education and grammar schools, they have also emphasized the importance of improving the overall education system. In their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they called for a review of the education system to ensure that it meets the needs of all children. This suggests that they might be open to focusing on improving current standards, but their support for selective education prevents a higher score.

As mentioned earlier, the Ulster Unionist Party has shown support for selective education and grammar schools in the past. Therefore, it is unlikely that they would strongly agree with the outright rejection of reintroducing grammar schools. The negative score reflects their historical stance on the issue.
