Question text And here are some priorities for our schools. Which do you think it is most important for them to achieve? Make sure all children, however able they are, do the best they can, make sure that parents have a lot of choice about the kind of school their child goes to, get the number of children who leave school with no qualifications down as low as possible, make sure that children from poor backgrounds do as well as those from better off backgrounds. PLEASE TICK ONE BOX ONLY.
