Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. Grant-maintained schools were established in the UK and Wales in 1988. These schools were independent of the local school authority until they were turned into foundation schools in 1998. Since 1998 200 Academies have opened which are publicly funded schools with a significant degree of autonomy.

Yes, but as long as they met a certain set of standards and it should be in addition to funding state schools rather than diverting money away from them.
@9BQPL9M1yr1Y
Privatise entire education system but provide some financial subsidies and assistance for children of households in low income brackets
@9BQ2NL71yr1Y
I don’t think you should have to pay for a child’s education but I also think our education system should be changed drastically.
@9BNG3451yr1Y
No, and education should not be privatised. However, free schools should still remain.
@9BDBN9P1yr1Y
Yes but should not be accountable for results.
@99LRN9M1yr1Y
No but all immigrants should pay for school through insurance
