That's high compared to the UK. Here, the government pays roughly £6k per year per student, and the top public schools charge about £10k per term, meaning that they get about £36k per year (including the government's £6k), or 6 times the state fees. Lesser public schools charge from about £3k per term, meaning that they receive about £15k per year, so only 2.5 times the state fees.
