Carter's interest in education and experience as student, teacher and administrator are a valuable resource for the local community. She would like to see smaller class sizes, a second language offered at entry and increased swimming and sports. Carter supports excluding pupils with disruptive behavior and believe that teacher pay and recognition are instrumental to a better school system.

UKIP's policy paper on education says it regards the aim of education as being to bring out the talents and abilities of each individual child. UKIP wants to give schools more freedom to determine their own direction so that parents have more choice.

UKIP supports grammar schools equally with other state-funded schools and is in favour of education vouchers for parents. UKIP would like to see a reform of the National Curriculum to give schools a greater say over subjects taught and would abolish nationwide testing of children before the age of 11.
