Daniel Kebede, the general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), said some teachers have been asked to work extra hours as independent schools scramble to cut costs as a result of the tax raid. The Government imposed 20 per cent VAT on private school fees at the start of the year, which many head teachers claim has caused them to struggle financially.
