Despite much protest, the UK Labour government has confirmed its plans to impose VAT on independent school fees, potentially raising costs for parents by £3,000 to £4,000 per child, and even more for boarding schools. This tax could push many families, particularly those in the "just about afford" category, to withdraw children from private schools, potentially placing tens of thousands of more pupils into the state system. BVA BDRC (Asia) has shown that an opportunity to stem loss of students, especially boarding schools, is for UK independent schools to tap more into international markets, particularly in Asia, where demand for UK education remains strong. #ukindependentschools.
