That was an absolute worst case scenario detailing the breakeven cost to the public in response to GC’s quoted respective costs between public and private. Illustration purposes only to refute the claims being made that removing funding support from the private sector would have an adverse impact to the taxpayer.That is exactly what you speculated when you wrote, "If one in three of all currently enrolled independent students remain..."
(Using the quoted values per GC the breakeven point for taxpayer cost is if independent schools were to lose 72.9% of their students to the public system).
In any case, even in such an extreme situation those schools would respond to the market and rationalise. Some, not all, would shut. The fact that there are a range of price points available means that the private response to removal of government funding to independent schools would never be so extreme.
