What is a charter school?
According to the Ministry of Education, charter schools are another version of a government-funded school that provides teachers and parents "with more choice".
Teachers in charter schools are given a different model of accountability, which provides more freedom for them in what is taught to students - and how it is taught to them.
Children must still be safe, attending school and be able to show that they are learning.
Associate Education Minister David Seymour said charter schools provide educators with greater autonomy, create diversity in the education system and allow teachers freedom from state and union interference.
He said they will "raise overall educational achievement, especially for students who are underachieving or disengaged from the current system".
