The introduction of VAT on private education is set to strain state school resources further, particularly affecting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Gabby Donald from Blick Rothenberg highlights that state schools are already struggling with SEN provisions, compounded by local authority funding shortages. Reports indicate the SEN system is facing a crisis, and the challenging navigation of support systems is pushing many parents into tribunals, with a high success rate. This shift to state schools could disrupt education and overwhelm existing resources.
The Government's introduction of VAT on private education will further strain state school's resources, adversely affecting students in need of support for Special Educational Needs (SEN).
State schools' capacity to absorb SEN students, who are priced out of private education by VAT, is extremely constrained, amidst a significant funding gap.
The SEN system is at crisis point, as revealed by reports from the National Audit Office and Public Accounts Committee, highlighting systemic challenges.
Navigating the SEN support system in state schools is challenging for parents, with 98% of tribunal cases favoring them, indicating fundamental issues in support accessibility.
