VAT isn't charged on education, it never was. If they choose to do it, then university fees should be next. In any case, it is all illogical because people paying for private schools are actually subsidising state schools, by freeing up spaces while still paying same tax contributions.
To be clear his his wife donated $3m of her money to the US university she went to. This money hasn't come from us and bears literally no relevance to UK school funding
The govt has wasted 120 billion in tax revenue since 2017 in a recent estimate. But sure, let’s tax private schools to raise 1.6 billion. Anyone with two brain cells (unfortunately not common) knows that this is an unfair tax - The Givg should be held accountable as to how it uses tax revenue before it is allowed to raise taxes further. It is not hardworking parents faults that the govt can’t handle the money it gets. They should not be punished.
This change doesn’t save our state schools, much larger investment and cultural change is needed for that. We're just turning away wealth for our economy which affects all. Over 65% of the students at our school are international, that’s new income for our economy. The taxes already paid on those amounts more than outweighs the financial benefit of an introduction of VAT following the projected fall in international admissions numbers. As always, this is just an emotive claim without much consideration. (Also to note, I don’t vote Tory and I like many of Labour’s other policies).
Already hate her ignorant attitude. Schools are already full! My daughter didn’t accepted on all three schools because of capacity. This labour move will make things worse.
@@nimzgaz7049sounds like we need to build more schools and train more teachers then. Guess the rich folks paying their way for once might help with that…

The only way to bring significant new funding into schools is to allow state schools to charge modest fees, means tested. If we value education we should be willing to pay something towards improving standards.
Charge state school parents modest fees. That’s the only way to bring serious new money into the system. The gvt is never going to provide significantly more funding.
Nice to see Labour carrying on Blair's one size fits all education whilst adding more pupils in the classroom. Love how people forgot the outrage that classroom sizes went to 30 to 35 pupils per class under the last Labour government. Looks like Labour plans 40 - 50 per class with this plan. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Goodluck Labour 😂
They'll need to invest big! Doctors need private school after school clubs in order to work long hours. Parents will most definitely struggle with PS fees too if the other tax rises being muted come in to play!
She is right to concentrate on our State schools 96% against 4% Also I would ask any who thinks she is wrong to watch a Panorama program named Britain Crumbling Schools Then see if she is wrong
I will vote Reform not to try and win...but we need their influence within parliament . Voting Tory or Labour is just voting for more of the same mess.
But that money won't be directed to one cause. It'll go into a global fund to be used, probably for the NHS. Most parents can't afford private schooling, but many choose to by making financial sacrifices. Keep on taking the union money, dear...

And what about staff? Does nobody think that schools might well 'cut their cloth' by making non teaching staff, who barely earn a living wage anyway, redundant?
6500 new teacher's works out at under 1 new teacher per school it's not alot so labour just chucking a number out and think the public can't work this out
The State school system does not offer an education that could be considered anything other than appalling and there are numerous reasons for this. Crush the private sector and the astonishingly higher level of education will result in only crushing the dreams of innumerable students that would otherwise become productive and positive citizens. Labour are showing how in my lifetime they have never had a single clue how to run the country as a business and make it profitable. God help us all....
@@andrewgreen5892 I don't understand. Is the point of this policy to increase tax revenue or to price some pupils out of private school and force some private schools to close altogether, which would increase demand for state school places and thereby reduce tax revenue per state school pupil?
And her simplistic mindset is frightening when we are facing full capacity in schools. Well people don’t care. We deserve this nonsense in this country

More of Labour's politics of envy. Crass socialism.
Rubbish if people can't afford it and can send them to state school like most people and stop moaning
@@ianHolmes-up2ocwhat happened to choice? Typical socialist
Sad for people who voted for Labour
Sunak gave $3 million to a school in California, whereas in U.K. teachers are spending their own money to provide basic teaching necessities.
Then charge parents the going rate for education. I am a single pensioner paying more council tax than a working family of 5 who live my street.

Two different governments.
What is happening with the schools in Wales? The private schools are being taxed here, but are the state schools going to see any of that money?
Government should give private scho parents tax return for not using state school resources!

The politics of envy from these uni parties Yawn Yawn
The excuse of 'The Politics Of Envy ' by the Purchasers Of Privilege.
Politics of Envy….Nonsense, not what a significant number of state schools are structurally unsound.
Sure, and how are schools most likely to 'cut their cloth'? By making non teaching staff redundant. Who can tell me that my job is safe?
Socialism party, Labour.

Tax and ban, that's all these people are capable of. Such a simplistic mindset.
Absolute nonsense . What are they banning ? Private Schools are businesses . Look at Eton.

And provide places for knowledge ds who will have to leave private school
She is a troll.
private schools have had it too good for too long and the public schools are crumbling so it's ok in my book
Then penalise parents who can't afford children.
They'll need to invest big! Doctors need private school after school clubs in order to work long hours. Parents will most definitely struggle with PS fees too if the other tax rises being muted come in to play!
Close down private schools and make them go to public schools. Equality now.

@@nimzgaz7049well then those teachers can move to public schools then and work there. A lot of them still get paid as any other teacher there is.

Private schools will create bursaries or scholarships for those who cannot afford. Makes complete sense to add VAT to their fees.
???? They already exist. What you say makes no sense.
