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.

No, and education should not be privatised, we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead
@9Q9TVSR7mos7MO
Focus on improving school now, by improving teachers conditions to ensure retention of good teachers and eradicate toxic management of schools.
@9M8QX9V9mos9MO
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.
@9HJRJCY1yr1Y
Yes as long as they follow strict national curriculum standards and funding per pupil equal to the amount of funding to other schools
@9HD7XT3 1yr1Y
Yes, but isn’t a shame the U.K. government can’t seem to run the school system. This should not be required, yet is working in many cases.
@9Q3DTQ57mos7MO
Yes, as long as they are accessible for everyone regardless of their income due to tuition waivers and income based tuition.
@9PXH9XS7mos7MO
No, the schools we have now need to b improved big time and teachers need to b better educated on all pupils not just txt book kids
@9PQ5DSD7mos7MO
Education should not be privatised; we should focus on improving public schools and increasing teacher wages instead
