Reform UK Education Policy Image

On education let's invest more wisely in young people, university students are being ripped off with high fees often for just online learning many degree courses could be done 2 years not 3 which would save thousands of pounds.

We would scrap interest rates on student loans and extend the capital repayment period, which will improve the debt recovery rate.

We would introduce a new workable apprenticeship scheme. We have to be honest that many young people would be better off learning whilst in work, rather than accruing debt at university.

Our schools and pupils need better technology to give them the best chances as we help prepare them for life. Covid has changed so much. Our children learn best in school and never again must we shut them, forcing children to learn from home for weeks on end.

Schools must focus on the basics of teaching every child to read and write.

Teachers must be free to teach pupils how to think, not what to think, without fear of the woke police or religious persecution.

We must keep divisive woke ideologies such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender ideology out of the classroom. Sex education should also always be age-appropriate.

There are only 2 sexes and 2 genders, and it is a safeguarding issue to confuse children by suggesting otherwise.
