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.

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.
