Keir Starmer's policy to impose a VAT on private schools is defended as a means to enhance funding for state schools, thus aiding the middle class.
Downing Street maintains that implementing a 20 percent levy on private school fees will raise funds for state education and improve standards.
'Fees have gone up by something like 75 percent in real terms since 2000,' the spokesperson emphasized, highlighting the increasing financial burden on parents.
Education secretary Bridget Phillipson described tax exemptions for private schools as a luxury we cannot afford, aligning with Labour's stance on financial accessibility.
