Do you support charter schools?

Private Schools Should Be Allowed As Well As Private Property But Everything Else Should Never Be Privatized

Only if created for the needs of Students requiring alternatives and equally funded by public funding

-Should focus on improving our public schools - Quality of teachers -check the competency of teachers and staff in the education ministry -Simple design of curriculum so that any parents can understand

Maybe if they are non profit Don’t know much info about these schools.

No, and we should set a date by which all private schools need to become part of the public system.

I support charter schools, and we should also improve public schools and increase teachers wages

Yes and education should not be privatized

Yes, but only if they are non-profit and secular.

I agree with focusing on improving public schools and teachers wages, but also think we need more publicity funded schools with high teacher ratios for the really troubled kids who are dropping out and committing crimes/sinking into addictions and apathy, or are really disruptive in schools to the point other kids' education is being impacted as well as their own. We need a LOT of these to rescue the disengaged kids who are about to become a huge societal burden if they aren't turned around, and for the rest of the kids and teachers still trying to learn in regular public schools.

The education system needs an overhaul.

In general I think all schools should be run by the state and entirely separated from religion in particular. I also think we should avoid Elitist private schools like Eton College that produced Boris Johnson and others.

Yes, but only if they are non-profit and non-exclusionary.

I’m unsure what this means

dont really k now

Education system needs huge uphaul to stay relevant and useful for tamariki and teachers supported better

Maybe, if they are not-for-profit, or have a limit on profit/fair pricing for students, but we should focus on improving public schools and increasing teacher wages.

Yes but they should make it so them work with community’s to improve. Also have company’s on board to help them into job training befor Le they leave. Like building. Start doing basic skills for apprenticeships.

Generally, no but I can see that, if NZ does not reflect the Treaty of Waitangi adequately in education, charter schools could provide a healthier option.

I'm unsure of what charter schools are

not shore.

Teacher wages should be increased significantly

yes. i support charter schools but i believe our public school system needs a lot of work.

Maybe???/

Yes, but we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teachers wages

Yes but I believe that it should be capped on how expensive they are, you should only be paying for boarding, not the education

Yes as long as they have qualified teachers & a good curriculum

Somewhere in the middle for me. I think there is a place for charter schools but also believe public school teachers are under-resourced and underpaid.

Schools should be a learning foundation for all students. The national standard of education should be tailored specifically for each students ability to learn. Each student will benefit from gaining experience beneficial to their own growth. That way no student is stuck on trying to ascend with every year that education is thrown at them. Instead they excell at their own pace, exceedingly quicker or extremely slow nonetheless they are able to benefit from the education system and find a suitable career without feeling left behind or having to fall back.

No, we should be supporting more alternative education Primary schools where main stream does not suit the child. Hands on schools, but with underlying standard curriculum.

Should parents be allowed to choose which school their child attends, even if it means the public funding is distributed unevenly?

How might the presence of charter schools affect the community where you live, both positively and negatively?

Do you think it’s fair for public school systems to compete with charter schools for funding, or does one naturally deserve more resources?

If a charter school promised smaller class sizes but less funding for extracurricular activities, would that be a good trade-off for you?

Do you think schools should be allowed to make a profit, or should education be seen as a public service that isn’t focused on money?

How do you feel about the idea that some students have better educational opportunities because they can attend a charter school while others cannot?

What factors would make you choose (or avoid) attending a charter school if given the chance?

How do you think the quality of your education would change if your school was privately managed?

Do you believe schools should be more like businesses, or should they remain under public control, and why?

If charter schools result in higher test scores for students, does that mean our public education system should adopt similar methods?
