Private schools are paying scouts in China up to £10,000 for every pupil they send to the UK as the number of Chinese students at top British schools soars, it has been revealed.
The practice has resulted in a rise in schools fees which middle class British families can no longer afford, experts have warned.
The average fee for independent schools in the UK is now £15,191 per year for day pupils and £36,000 for those who board.
Fees rose by 1.1 per cent in 2021 and 4.1 per cent in 2020 after increases above-inflation for most of the past two decades, according to The Times.
