Private schools lose High Court challenge over VAT changes

In a recent ruling, the High Court dismissed a legal challenge against the government's decision to add VAT to private school fees, impacting families and schools. The Independent Schools Council argued the policy was discriminatory and violated human rights laws. Despite the challenge, the court upheld the government's stance, citing the projected revenue to support public services. This decision has implications for private school parents and education standards in both private and state schools.
