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
@9XCY2FV4mos4MO
Yes, but also with the introduction of trade/vocational schools and other skill-based alternatives for students who struggle in the traditional system
@B2WNQSR1wk1W
Yes, but improving current standards of comprehensive education and abolishing private schools should be abolished
@B2V2WT81wk1W
The education system should not be based upon how successful students perform in exams but rather teaching and them in a way that is stress free and can vary depending upon a student's needs.
@B2S9WQ52wks2W
No, but increase support for and availability of apprenticeships and incentivise vocational career pathways
@9ZCDW2L3mos3MO
Focus should be on improving standards, but this obviously isn't going to happen everywhere, so people should be able to have a choice.
@9Y7ZZ3Q3mos3MO
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.
@9QM74JR8mos8MO
No, Funding should be on a case by case basis , and parents should be granted tax rebates if putting there children into private schooling
