联合王国将停止为私立学校检查提供公共资金,从2026年起逐步提高收费,为公立学校提供资金。 UK to end public funding for private school inspections, raise fees gradually from 2026 to fund state schools.

联合王国政府正在就结束纳税人对公开检查私立学校的补贴问题进行磋商,建议从2026年开始在五年内逐步增加收费,以便将资金转用于公立学校。 The UK government is consulting on ending taxpayer subsidies for Ofsted inspections of private schools, proposing gradual fee increases over five years starting in 2026 to redirect funds to state schools. 目前,检查费用每年为650万英镑,但只产生220万英镑的收费,留下纳税人支付的430万英镑的差额。 Currently, inspections cost £6.5 million annually but only generate £2.2 million in fees, leaving a £4.3 million gap paid by taxpayers. 该计划旨在提高公立学校的标准,支持雇用6 500名新教师,此前已采取行动取消对私立学校免征增值税和减免商业费率的做法。 The plan aims to boost state school standards and support hiring 6,500 new teachers, following earlier moves to remove VAT exemptions and business rate relief from private schools. 根据学校规模,学费将增加,较大的学校将面临更大幅度的增长。 Fees would rise based on school size, with larger schools facing steeper increases. 此次协商直到11月20日才开始,并不影响独立学校监察局的检查。 The consultation, open until November 20, does not affect inspections by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. 政府承认,费用在变化后仍可能超过收费。 The government acknowledges that costs may still exceed fees after the changes.
