Would you support the return of a selective education system and the reintroduction of grammar schools?

In 2017 Theresa May announced a £320m program to build a new generation of grammar schools. The plan would also will also pay for free transport for children from poorer families to attend selective schools within 15 miles of where they live. Opponents of the plan, including Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, claim it will take away funds from public schools.

I support both a reintroduction of grammar schools and a focus on improving current standards - no reason why both cannot be achieved

 @9XCY2FVanswered…4wks4W

Yes, but also with the introduction of trade/vocational schools and other skill-based alternatives for students who struggle in the traditional system

Education should be privatized,with privatization,different types of schools can be made and students wouldn't be forced to study in a system that they dislike

No, as this creates divisions in society and can lock those of less fortunate backgrounds out of opportunities.

OVERHAUL education. Free inclusive diverse education is needed. And not just academical education.

 @9ZCDW2Lanswered…2wks2W

Focus should be on improving standards, but this obviously isn't going to happen everywhere, so people should be able to have a choice.

 @9Y7ZZ3Qanswered…3wks3W

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.

No, Funding should be on a case by case basis , and parents should be granted tax rebates if putting there children into private schooling
