David Seymour: School lunches and charter school ambitions | Q+A 2024

Associate Education Minister David Seymour wants cheaper school lunches for students that need it. Q+A asks him how effective the revamped programme could be and whether he will give schools the support they need to deliver it. Meanwhile, the first charter schools are expected to be up and running by Term 1 next year. Seymour says he's taking inspiration from England, where 80% of secondary schools are run under the academy programme, which has many similarities to New Zealand charter schools. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
