Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In New Zealand charter schools were first allowed for after an agreement between the National Party and the ACT Party following the 2011 general election. The controversial legislation passed with a five-vote majority. A small number of charter schools started in 2013 and 2014 and enroll students who have struggled in the normal state school system. 36 organizations have applied to start charter schools.

Yes because there are genuinely good ones. I personally know a child enrolled in one. But also on the flip side if you're taking funds from existing schools that isn't something I'd like to see either. Some schools have been successful in raising their own funds to balance the lack of funding but I don't like those schools because they've become very commercialised and it has created some really obvious wealth/class division and cliques at a young age. The focus should be on equal learning for all and at a high level. Not what the commercialised/profiteering individuals want our kids to learn/believe or become familiar with.
