It really pisses me off that David Seymour keep implicitly claiming kura kaupapa were created by their charter school policy. A US privatisation model shoehorned into the NZ education system in 2011.

The first kura kaupapa was set up no later than 1985 (Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi). By 2011 there were dozens. Since 1989, the Special Character Designation policy has allowed them to operate autonomously within the public education system, :
