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 we should focus on a curriculum that it the same across ALL public schools throughout Australia and increase wages for teachers and all education support staff.
@B4B9G5P3 days3D
No, governments should not involve themselves in any kind of education. This is a matter for parents.
@B49RVNX4 days4D
Yes but not at the expense of funding public schools where the Charter School meets the unmet needs of social group such as disabled, gifted or creatives.
@B3WRDQQ3wks3W
Both final no statements with schooling not being privatised and improving the quality of public schools and increasing teachers wages
@B35C6BY1mo1MO
tbh i dontt even know what a charter skl is so i couldnt give a damn if im being totally and completely honest with ya lad
@B33ZG2T1mo1MO
No, private schooling should be funded by the families of those students and not tax payers. Government funding for chartered and private schools should only take place through grants when or if the private school has beneficiaries to the greater community such as outreach programs.
@B33YSD61mo1MO
I support Charter schools, if they are self supporting and run like a private business and not funded by the government. Want to run a business, run it yourself without handouts.
@B2GTGBX 2mos2MO
No, we should focus on improving public schools and increasing wages for all those who work in schools, including ES staff.
