Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In Australia 30% of high school students are enrolled in private schools. All Australian private schools have received some federal government funding since the 1970s. Since 2010, the government has tested an initiative in Western Australia called the Independent Public School (IPS) Initiative. The federal government has shown interest in rolling out the IPS initiative nationwide.

No, education should be co-operatively owned by union member employees and democratically elected employers
@9KMZMN8Great Australian2mos2MO
No, we should reform the education curriculum to remove unnecessary subjects such as cultural, political and lgbtqa+ topics.
@9KM7C7ZOne Nation2mos2MO
Yes, but they should be monitored to make sure that students are learning valuable information and aren't being indoctrinated and used for minions for a greater cause (Including bad causes)
@9K9ZQGL2mos2MO
No because education should not be private, public schools need the funding and teachers need better wages
@9FJHZ9M7mos7MO
I believe that having charter schools is good because indiviuals have more say on how the school is run. However, goverment should regularly hold inspections on charter schools to see if any misuse or inappropriate behaviour is occuring.
@9DZRS928mos8MO
neither, dont have an opinion.
Yes and they need to link this to ndis funding to encourage collaborative education
Do what they like but not a cent of tax money
@9D7QJS79mos9MO

Yes, because some school are private for religious reasons
Private and public is necessary

@99TT8GY1yr1Y
We should improve the current schooling education and improving teacher salary and overtime pay.
@99H683B1yr1Y
I see great benefits and downfalls to charter schools and have a neutral stance until I know more information.
@99C6GHZ1yr1Y
This is Australia. What the hell is a charter school?
As long as i get education
yes but we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead
Yes, but increase funding for public schools and teachers
@98WBD3P1yr1Y
Education should be funded by Government.
I have nothing against charter schools.
Unaware and uneducated so do not want to select an option
Yes, but only when they're not religious
@987BL561yr1Y
Yes but only if they’re either non-profit or otherwise not provided any additional funding per student than any state school in the same area
@982VQ9M1yr1Y
Yes, and more (but not all) of our education system should be privatized.
@96HTVY32yrs2Y
Yes, we should build more private schools and privatise the entire education system. Ban all public schools and increase teacher wages.
This doesn't concern me but if it has a good purpose then okay.
@9684N3NLiberal Democrat2yrs2Y
people should have the choice to where and how their children study
@95J6HNX2yrs2Y
whot is a charter school
@94BQNPJ2yrs2Y
yes we should allow privet primary and high schools to be privet but higher education should be free for everyone and there should be no privet University’s so that everyone gets a fair go
Yes but have to be regulated and inspected.
@942VKVG2yrs2Y
We should provide limited support for private schools & not remove support for them entirely. But, divert more focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead, while keeping private schools within orbit.
@93TCPTK2yrs2Y
Both have a place for people who want to excel in a certain area or people who can't succeed in normal school
@93NXG6Y2yrs2Y
No, we shouldn't have another tier of schools
@9367FBW2yrs2Y
I have no idea what that is
@93668D72yrs2Y
No, because there nazis
@9346VCD2yrs2Y
Yes, Education is very important, public schools needs improving and teachers should be better supported. If Charter school are able to provide additional education on top of public school then why not
@933VHD62yrs2Y
Should all be private and affordable.
@93372372yrs2Y
Go back to rote learning coupled with invest8gative learning
I don’t understand enough about it
@932MZ4Z2yrs2Y
Yes, but not at the expense of funding public schools and only if they are non-profit
@932D6LT2yrs2Y
I don’t have any thing to do with it
