This is the latest example:
Charter schools told to keep enrolment numbers secret
“The seven charter schools set up at the start of the year have been told to keep their enrolments secret, by The Charter School Agency.
The organisation, which manages charter school contracts and funding, told RNZ it was not appropriate to share information about the rolls of the publicly funded private schools.
“The Charter School Agency does not intend to release the numbers of students currently enrolled at each individual school during the crucial establishment phase as this could undermine their commercial position and their efforts to build their roll and deliver quality education,” it said.”
Very well done to Tipene and the French International School for having the integrity to ignore the CSA.
If you believe in a policy, use taxpayers money, and consider that you are doing a good/worthwhile job – you talk about it. The CSA is subject to the OIA.

I read an article about the cost of education for one child through to three years of uni. It put a figure of 330k.
Now if I was allowed to have a voice of how and where that was spent on my child, their education would be amazing. In fact I am fairly confident I could streamline it and save a large proportion of that.
Easy answer: Because they are the other cheek of the same stinky a*se.
Nothing will change unless a fresh new party governs Godzone.
IF that should happen, watch both cheeks collude to hold back the Diarrhea.
Thej call it coalition.
