Region: United Kingdom
Target: United Kingdom Secretary of State for Education

Description/History:
State schools continue to fail the majority of children of African Heritage throughout the United Kingdom.
Charter schools have been proven to be a viable alternative to traditional state schools in the global community.
Charter schools operate from three principles: Accountability, Choice and Autonomy.
Charter schools are independent state schools of Choice designed by educators, parents, community organisations and other educational and business entrepreneurs.
Charter schools are free and empowered to design their own curriculum to meet students’ unique interests (e.g. cultural, vocational training, arts) and special talents or needs.
