Chris Abercrombie: Post Primary Teachers' Association President on the union's opposition to the Government's charter school move

There’s fiery opposition to the Government's charter schools move by the teacher's union.  Associate Education Minister David Seymour's championing a move to convert 35 state schools to charter schools, allowing $153 million for the initiative.  It's caused the PPTA to change its constitution to allow members who teach at charter schools to be members, despite its stance against the schools.  PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's not a backtrack, and they're still opposed.  He says the Government's forcing the conversion of schools against the teacher's will.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
