38744 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: Does the Associate Minister of Education agree with comments by Minister of Education, Erica Stanford, that “I don't want schools to leave and become charter schools.”; if not, why not?

Hon David Seymour: I agree with the sentiment the Minister was seeking to express, that choice, complexity and options in education are good for New Zealand's schools.
