There are 73,000 teachers in NZ. The vast majority are in the unions and oppose charter schools. Even if all 78 applications were done by teachers, their wishes represent only a tiny, tiny fraction of the profession.
We've had 78 applications to open new charter schools, or convert state schools into charter schools. There's huge demand from educators to free themselves from the shackles of the state system and meet the needs of students who are being failed.
