e idea of liberty. We must have the freedom to choose between statefunded and privately educated schools. If parents pay taxes, surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a statefunded or a privatelyfunded school.The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast. Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools. Many state schools are already overburdened。 do they really need more pupils? Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated. In the times of economic crisis, should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education? There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools. It is noted that, in general, private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools. Yet, why do people view this as a bad thing? The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middleclasses do not totally abandon state education for private education. This petition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them! If the private schools did not exist, where would be the impetus for state school improvement?Government should not simply ban a system which produces results. It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model. Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody, learning from a successful system will.66.
