Rishi Sunak spends DOUBLE the average UK salary on private schooling every year

RISHI Sunak has been asked to explain why state schools are “not good enough” – as he spends more than £63,000 every year sending his children to exclusive private schools.

The Prime Minister – who has an extreme wealth that opponents say makes it impossible for him to relate to the average person – has two young daughters. He spends more than double the median wage of a UK worker (£31,285) on their private education every year.

One goes to an exclusive boarding school charging annual fees of £41,250, while the other goes to a school charging £22,350 every year, according to multiple reports.
