The Welsh government argues that independent schools with charitable status should be treated the same as non-charities, aiming to redirect funds into local services.
Concerns arise over potential significant drops in private school enrolment, with a report predicting 140,000 children might shift to state schools in England and Wales.
Critics, including Tom Giffard, warn that the proposed tax changes would strain an already pressured state school system, increasing class sizes and taxing educators.
The proposed changes to private schools’ charitable status would align Wales with Scotland and reflect similar intentions being discussed in England, highlighting regional policy shifts.
