Victoria College is one of the schools which would have a reduced subsidy of the proposals are approved

PARENTS are facing a massive rise in education fees after the announcement of plans to slash subsidies to fee-paying schools.
In the most controversial announcement yet of the public sector cuts programme, Education Minister James Reed today revealed plans to reduce the annual subsidies from £9.8 million to £5.5 million.
If the proposals are approved by States Members later this year, subsidies to Beaulieu, De La Salle, Victoria College and Jersey College for Girls will be halved over three years, while the subsidy to the FCJ faith school will be cut by 15 per cent. (from JEP)
