Like sure, there's no reason the government couldn't replicate Renfrew and fund it appropriately and put someone in charge that knew what they were doing. Aside from it going directly against the core idea of equal education. Only reason Charter schools get a pass is because they get equal funding.
There's nothing stopping the government from having 4 or 5 different education streams with different goals, funding, and curriculums. That's a completely self imposed limitation that will inevitably fail the kids who that will never work for. Same with school fees. You can have people pay school fees that are related to your children. That's normal in most countries.

There are factors and roadblocks that are stopping these types of initiatives and it stems from advocacy for inclusive education. The government would need to scrap or very significantly overhaul the idea of inclusive education but that would anger many special interest groups.
