Exempt students with learning disabilities from VAT on private school fees

Closed 40 signatures

What the petition asks

Some families turn to private special education schools if mainstream options cannot meet their child’s complex needs. These schools may provide smaller class sizes, specialized staff, individualized learning plans, and therapeutic support. For children with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, or other.
We think such environments may make the difference between academic failure and success, isolation and integration.
