Children in "Class" Warfare 2025
The UK's class warfare deeply impacts children's education, with debates over VAT on private school fees and calls to abolish private and grammar schools highlighting systemic inequalities. While these measures aim to promote equality, they risk overlooking the shared aspiration of all parents—regardless of class or wealth—to secure the best outcomes for their children. Private schools offer opportunities many state schools cannot yet provide, but penalising them without addressing state school underfunding risks harming all children. A nuanced approach is needed: investing in state education, learning from the strengths of private schools, and fostering collaboration to ensure every child, irrespective of background, has the chance to thrive. Ultimately, we are "not so different" in wanting the best for our children—a truth that should guide efforts to create a fairer, more inclusive education system.
