School zones are set for a major shake-up as part of sweeping education reforms unveiled on Tuesday.
Individual schools will no longer set their own enrolment policies it will done by a network of regional offices set up by the Ministry of Education to ensure more equitable access to schooling.
The government's final report found competition under 'Tomorrows Schools' has exacerbated ethnic and socio-economic segregation.
Education Minister Chris Hipkins explained how the new zoning system will work.
