"A source at one prestigious UK public school told that further extra hikes in fees for families based outside the UK was the “most obvious” way of raising cash for schools that have a large intake of international students. They said several schools were preparing to increase fees for international students “in line with how university fees operate” over the next six to 12 months, because of the introduction of VAT. “The deeper pockets of international families, especially in the
USA, Middle East, China and Hong Kong will make this very achievable,” they said." |
