Grammars aren’t the answer

Peter Hitchens supports setting up more grammar schools but the best education system in the world is in South Korea, while in Europe, Finland is rated higher than us. Both have comprehensive education systems.

Our current system is good but hindered by diversity, such as private schools. We do not want communism but all areas of health and education should be available on an equal-opportunity basis. Mervyn Williams, Huddersfield The claim that the selection process produces failure is far from the truth as I know it. I also know that non-selection at comprehensive schools was not beneficial to both my children. Reg Martin, Solihull
