As Auckland’s population continues to grow, so too are the city’s schools – and many of them are running out of space.

Analysis by the Herald has found that while the school-aged population has only risen by 18 percent since the year 2000, at least one school has had its roll jump by 149 percent.

With space running out, it’s also prompting tough questions for schools and what they do with out of zone enrolments.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald reporter Ben Leahy joins us to digest the data he’s seen about the shortage of space in our schools.
