52423 (2024). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: Does she stand by her statement “Having this consistent and explicit approach to teaching reading, writing and maths across the country will help provide all children the opportunity to succeed and live the life they want.”; if so, then how would she justify the level of inconsistencies and flexibilities that charter schools provide?

Hon Erica Stanford: Charter schools will have greater flexibility but this is balanced with higher accountability for student outcomes. Specific questions relating to policy for charter schools are the responsibility of the Associate Minister of Education.
