I don’t have the answer or the solution. Don’t even know if there is one. I’m just suggesting that, in the interest of fairness, it is unjustifiable for the wealthiest 7-8% to have access to such facilities while the vast majority have to make do and mend. It’s not a new situation but some of the facilities I’ve seen recently have reinforced my view of this particular inequity.
What exactly do you mean 'money must be available'? Are you suggesting that private school fees would just be handed over to the state?
