Some people get quite excited about the growth benefits and externalities from investing in more human capital such as more young people going to university. In New Zealand, the number of graduates quadrupled over the last 30 years but the trend GDP growth rate is unchanged. Please explain?

Talk about giving the giving the game away. The only way a state school can do as well as a chartered school in delivering to students is giving it more money than a chartered school can do to deliver the same results.
That is the best ever argument for a charter school, they provide better value for the education dollar. Is my logic faulty?
