I support both a reintroduction of grammar schools and a focus on improving current standards - no reason why both cannot be achieved
@9XCY2FV3wks3W
Yes, but also with the introduction of trade/vocational schools and other skill-based alternatives for students who struggle in the traditional system
@9ZH2VY31wk1W
OVERHAUL education. Free inclusive diverse education is needed. And not just academical education.
@9ZCDW2L2wks2W
Focus should be on improving standards, but this obviously isn't going to happen everywhere, so people should be able to have a choice.
@9Y7ZZ3Q2wks2W
change the education system as a whole, we are expected to learn so much in little time and 80% of the teaching we are given we do not use.
@9QM74JR5mos5MO
No, Funding should be on a case by case basis , and parents should be granted tax rebates if putting there children into private schooling
@9QM5YTK5mos5MO
No, de-establish academies and return them back to the original state school plan and give the government back control and funding over state schools.
@9QLZBBW5mos5MO
I believe it wouldn’t be a bad idea however, we need to put way more funding into our current education system long before we start thinking about that because that provides a unfair advantage for people just because of their IQ
