Chris Abercrombie: PPTA President on charter schools attendance rates
Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description
A question of whether charter schools can achieve better results than what's already possible at state schools.
New annual reports show three of the seven charter schools that opened last year failed to meet attendance or achievement targets.
Some did make significant gains, with Māori-Pasifika boys' boarding school Tipene nearly doubling reading expectations.
PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Francesca Rudkin state schools can deliver just as well for disengaged students.
He says they're more equipped to deal with specific issues, with established networks and resources.
