British Private Schools Ordered to Offer More Free Slots
July 14, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
Two British private schools are being ordered to offer more free placements to students who cannot afford tuition or risk being stripped of their charity status, The Guardian reports.
The schools, St. Anselm’s, in Derbyshire, and Highfield Priory, in Lancashire, are among the first dozen institutions put to a “public benefit” inspection by the British Charity Commission under a law designed to weed out organizations that charge fees without offering sufficient services to those who cannot afford them.
