Dan Le Blancq, who set up ParentsForChoice following the Education Minister’s controversial announcement to cut more than £4 million from the annual subsidies to fee-paying schools, believes that those bodies are in the best position to tackle the issue, especially if they join forces.
However, Mr Le Blancq’s calls came on the same day that the board of governors at Jersey College for Girls said they had ‘a legal duty to remain neutral’.
In a statement, Philip Taylor said that none of the governors wanted their States funding to be reduced but that ultimately they were bound by the decisions of the Education Minister, as they are a States fee-paying school.
