Clearly a flawed sample. If this were true, state schools would have been swamped with refugees from the private sector and this hasn’t happened.
There is no evidence that 5% of the private school population has moved to the state sector as this article based on a survey by a wealth management firm claims.
It’s almost as if they had an agenda.
A friend with a SEND kid had to stop sending her to private school, which wasn’t bloody Eton, it was a small school for other kids like her. They’re not affluent, and now the state has the responsibility. I’m not sure this VAT thing is going to save the government any money.
So either the gov brings in more tax money for state education, or the private school sector shrinks and education becomes more equal. Hard to know which horse to bet on!
Basically this impacted the SEND families and the crap private schools which were probably going to go bust anyway.
Something tells me it isn’t the “affluent” ones doing so, those have absorbed the cost. It is far more likely it is those “doing alright” for themselves that can’t absorb a 20% price rise, you know the people who get hammered everytime there is an increase in tax.
A lot of not so well-off families who sacrificed a *lot* to be able to send their children to better schools are going to feel it the most.
Now they are after taxing private Healthcare… you’ll never have a penny by the time they’re finished … what next Tax Oxygen bloody hells bells they’re bent on ruining this country !!!!!!!!
Oh no, they have to send their kids to the same schools as everyone else. How awful for them, let me grab my tiny violin.
It’s certainly tough for some people. My school area has a great state school, but it’s a religious one that ignores the 50% non-religious rule. The other school is the worst in Surrey, by many metrics.
So my mates wouldn’t pretend to be religious, so sent their daughter to private school to avoid the shitey school, and it’s been hard for them, financially. They hit the VAT increase for just a few months, but if it’d been for a significant time, their daughter would have gone to shitey school.
Of course, the better solution would be to make sure state schools can’t discriminate, but heigh ho.
The other way of looking at it is that 9/10 affluent families are comfortable paying the extra VAT, which should cover the 1 additional family sending their kids to state school, plus a bit extra.
Resounding success?
Good? The policy is to force affluent families to engage with and support the public education system. Finland does it and they have one of the best systems on the planet.
Total BS.
I ditched private school for my son as soon as he could get into local sixth form. Our state comprehensive is a great school and provides much better education and experience than the private school. The private school was full of pompous entitled teachers and the poor kids were mostly boarders.
Bravo! That’s exactly what we want to see happening.
