Part two: Inside charter schools

It is one of the most controversial issues regarding charter schools - the idea that a church, such as Destiny Church, or an ethnic group, like a Maori trust, can start their own school to suit their own interests.

In the second of Close Up's series on charter schools, Gill Higgins heads to Birmingham to a sikh part of the city where the UK's first faith school of its kind has been set up.

Head of the Waipareira Trust, John Tamihere, and the president of New Zealand Educational Institute, Ian Leckie, discuss the issue.
