State education groups are applauding a Government move to bring formerly private schools into line over fees charged to parents.
Education Minister Anne Tolley has threatened to set a limit to the fees integrated schools charge if complaints she has received prove to be justified.
Integrated schools are allowed to charge fees to cover property costs.
Post Primary Teachers Association president Kate Gainsford says the minister's approach is about ensuring there is fairness and consistency in the state education system.
Wellington College headmaster Roger Moses, says there is a perception that if integrated schools are charging high fees they are getting two bites of the cherry.
