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.

@9P7K6HT6mos6MO
No, private schools should be privately run and the state should instead support the return of a selective education system and the reintroduction of grammar schools
@9MV4FB56mos6MO
Yes so long as it is proven the education provider will provide equal if not better outcomes to the pupils and that the funds are fully invested in providing for those best outcomes.
@9PQ5DSD5mos5MO
Education should not be privatised; we should focus on improving public schools and increasing teacher wages instead
@9NYTYQ8 6mos6MO
No. And we should focus on improving our public schools and completely overhauling our education system. It’s not fit for purpose anymore. More autonomy should be given to the teachers
