malaysia NEEDS charter schools ... ?

public/national type schools ... well, practically all of us agree on the quality and direction of national type schools
our current alternatives?
private schools (too expensive for the majority), chinese/tamil schools ... too limited, restricted in certain contexts, eh wot?

wot say charter schools?

Charter schools are public institutions, supported by public funds. However, they have greater freedom from state rules and regulations than traditional public schools. Charter schools are typically free to hire or fire personnel, design curriculum, and promote specific values. A charter school must negotiate a contract (charter), usually with a local school district or charter authorizer designated by the state. Each charter may vary, because each state has different education laws and each charter school is designed to be unique in focus or student clientele. However, all contracts describe school goals, how the school will be run, the amount of public money it will receive, and the degree of freedom it will be given.

given the choice, I'd rather my money go towards good charter schools for our children anytime, anyday.
