Private Schools in New Zealand: An Endangered Species?

Abstract

The number of private schools has declined over the last decade, prompting the Chief Review Officer to express concern, but the non-government school sector as a whole has grown with many private schools, including recently established ones, integrating into the state system. The size of the non-government sector and movement within it will depend on the level of state aid and the new government’s willingness to act on recent amendments to the Integration Act.
