Leaders of 50 private schools warn that imposing VAT on school fees in January could lead to mid-year pupil migration to state schools, straining resources.
The consultation process was criticized as inadequate, with much occurring during summer holidays, limiting meaningful input on the potential fallout from VAT implementation.
Jamie Harle, a lead figure from private schools, emphasized the rush for VAT is 'ambushing state schools,' predicting serious disruptions in both education sectors.
Harle argued that had this been healthcare changes, a thorough consultation would have been expected, illustrating the lack of consideration for education’s unique challenges.
