I support both a reintroduction of grammar schools and a focus on improving current standards - no reason why both cannot be achieved
@9XCY2FV4wks4W
Yes, but also with the introduction of trade/vocational schools and other skill-based alternatives for students who struggle in the traditional system
@9ZS2VF822hrs22H
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
@9ZPK6TL5 days5D
No, as this creates divisions in society and can lock those of less fortunate backgrounds out of opportunities.
@9ZH2VY32wks2W
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.
@9Y7ZZ3Q3wks3W
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
