Allow parents to use tax-free childcare vouchers to increase schools funding
Schools funding in England is at a critical low - some are threatening a 4-day week to reduce the financial deficit. This will profoundly affect our children's education.
My local school receives just £15.16 per child per day. It is not enough to cover even basic teaching requirements.
The idea:
Many working parents like me pay into a childcare voucher scheme for under-5s, where up to £243 per month can be used tax-free towards nursery.
The government should extend this scheme so that is continues for working parents of over-5s and their schools.
This means that if parents choose, and are able to make a voluntary financial donation to a school, it is not taxed; thus helping to fill the funding gap.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
