There are concerns the Government's charter schools plan could be a political football.

Associate Education Minister David Seymour's announced more than $150 million to set up 15 new charter schools in the next four years and convert 35 state school in the next two.

Massey University's John O'Neill told Roman Travers that since the last government's disestablished them, it can't be considered a settled policy.

He says the possibility of converting or privatising existing state schools and moving them out of the state sector would be the major new bone of contention.
