Families who do not send their children to government-financed schools should not be required to pay taxes that support universal education. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge.
In most countries worldwide, the government levies the same level of education-related taxes to all households, irrespective of the types of schools attended by their dependants. While it can be argued that this system unfairly treats those who enroll their offspring in private schools, an examination of the workings of the education and tax systems will prove that this may not be the case.
On one side, those who are educated in the private sector are often charged pricey tuition fees. An additional tax impost not only adds to their financial burden but is also unfair since they are not the primary recipient of the services supported by this tax.
However, the tax system of the majority of countries is progressive. As such, those at the top of the social ladder, who are privileged enough to afford private schooling, are expected to fork out a higher proportion of their income in taxes in the fight against poverty and social inequality. Hence, tax pertaining to universal education should be no different from the other categories of tax.
Moreover, an analysis of the educational system reveals that children from publicly-funded schools usually need to pay for their own school trips, social events and extracurricular activities organized. Indeed, educational taxes are only directed towards basic amenities such as teachers’ salaries, infrastructure and equipment, given that they consist of a minor fraction of the tax bill. Moreover, the general population is most often ignorant of the fact that tax revenues stemming from other areas are usually employed to prop up universal education. As a result, attendees of private schools end up financing the educational system.
To conclude, every citizen is granted the opportunity to attend state-funded schools. People should not be exempted from educational taxes if they opt for privately-funded education.
