Shane Coleman: Voluntary contributions 'a fraction what you spent on Sky Sports'

An examination of end-of-year accounts by the Joint Managerial Body , which represents around 500 secondary schools, found many said the reliance on parental supports was 'degrading'.One patron body reported 55% of its schools would have been in the red last year if it had not been for the voluntary contributions from parents."I think this is over-stated as an issue," he said.

"But I've no problem with genuinely voluntary contributions - I'm quite happy to make a contribution to my kids school."Shane said he's happy to invest in his children's education. "I'm happy to invest in education; I think our kids in this country get a really good education for next to nothing"."The situation for some people who are asked to pay a voluntary contribution is that it is a real and genuine pressure on them," she said."But also when my kids were in school...and people were talking about the voluntary contributions: schools do sent reminders to people.

found that 74% of primary and 78% of secondary school parents said that their schools requested a voluntary contribution.
