I could not sanction flat rate grants based on the assumed cost of tuition in a maintained day school.
I do not know what it costs to educate a child in an elementary day school.
In addition, some financial assistance, within prescribed limits, is given where necessary towards day school fees for some children who accompany their parents abroad.
No allowance is paid to assist with day school fees in this country.
It may be said that the children could be sent to a day school, but in practice that does not work out.
I may be asked how we can apply that principle in a day school.
If their children are sent home to day school, who will look after them?
It is an ordinary type of day school and the fees including extras come to about £14 a term.
