Here is a blog post that is interesting – Swedish Charter schools have often been the measuring stick for our Government to use to ‘encourage’ this in NZ. It seems that they haven’t been as successful as we have been lead to believe. How strong of them though to recognise that this isn’t working and to pull out of this initiative. It seems that it isn’t anything to do with the programmes of learning or the quality of teaching – unfortunately it is all down to money!! Interestingly enough – Schools don’t seem to be good economic models for money making! Now that is a surprise!
