Bridget Phillipson declared that the new VAT tax on private schools represents a much-needed shift towards supporting state schools, saying, 'Our state schools need teachers more than private schools need embossed stationery.' This statement underscores the Labour Party's focus on reallocating resources to bolster public education instead of catering to private institutions.
The Treasury's wavering commitment to the 1 January deadline for implementing VAT on private schools has sparked worries about possible administrative chaos and job losses, leading to a vocal defense by Phillipson. Despite initial hesitations, the Treasury later confirmed it would move forward with the proposed tax, indicating the government's determination to follow through on its promises.
