State-integrated school

In New Zealand, a state-integrated school is a former private school which has integrated into the state education system under the Private Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975, becoming a state school while retaining its special character. State-integrated schools were established by the Third Labour Government in the early 1970s as a response to the near-collapse of the country's then private Catholic school system, which had run into financial difficulties.

As of July 2022, there were 335 state-integrated schools in New Zealand, of which 236 identify as Roman Catholic. They educate approximately 92,482 students, or 11.2% of New Zealand's student population, making them the second-most common type of school in New Zealand behind non-integrated state schools.
