David Seymour: Associate Education Minister on the new targets for charter schools

The Government's announced attendance, achievement, and financial targets for charter schools.   The schools must meet the targets or risk interventions, including possibly having their contract ended.   Associate Education Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking Charter Schools have the same goals as state schools, such as 95% getting NCEA level two and 80% regularly attending.   He says the difference is they're putting in hard minimums for Charter Schools, and if they don't achieve them, they'll be shut down.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
