Third of parents asked for school donations, report shows
More than a third of parents have revealed they have been asked to donate money to their child’s school, a survey shows.
Out of 1,514 parents quizzed by the charity PTA UK, 37 per cent admitted that they have been asked to give money to their child’s school fund.
In addition, the report shows that almost half of the parents do not know where the money is being spent.
The new report also suggests that parents are worried about the increasing costs of schooling with 72 per cent of parents claiming that the cost of putting their child in a state school is rising. Forty-six per cent of participants revealed that this issue was worrying them.
Other concerns point to the cost of school trips, uniform and food, with one in 10 parents worried about the price of school uniforms.
