private schools feesBBC

Labour Party pledges to add tax to private school fees and use the funds to recruit teachers for state schools.
Some argue it is a reasonable way to raise revenue and others think it’s an unfair charge that will fall on parents.
Sam Freedman , former adviser to Michael Gove , is in favour of the proposed VAT charge.
Kristina Murkett , an English teacher at a private school, is against.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said: “If parents stop spending 15,000 on private school fees because of the increase in VAT , they are likely to spend the money on other goods and services at some point in time, generating extra VAT revenues” However, this is not guaranteed as parents could choose to save the money.
The idea that private schools are vastly better than our state system is not justified, says Sam .
He argues that in a lot of them the teaching is better than it is in private schools.
But he says it would be 'incredibly iniquitous and unfair' to tax the rich to fund private schools rather than state schools.
