A response about VAT on Private schools

Added: 2026-04-29

The UK government's decision to apply VAT to private schools while exempting state schools is criticized as punitive and ideologically driven, as education is VAT-exempt across the EU; this policy fails to address the real issue that both state and private education systems are failing to develop students' memory skills in the digital age, where reliance on computers for information storage weakens cognitive memory development, and effective education requires teaching students to use notebooks with handwritten notes to develop memory skills while using computers as supplementary tools rather than replacements for cognitive development.
