Maharishi Free School, UK Maharishi
School has been accepted as a Free School by the UK Government, which means it will receive full support, including 100% funding, from now on. Raja Peter announced that the UK Government has granted “Free School” status to the Maharishi School in Skelmersdale, whereby the School joins other state maintained schools in England. >From now on all expenses of the School will be fully covered by the state, including tuition fees, teachers' salaries, and building costs. Construction has already started to create additional classrooms, and within a few years a new Vastu facility is being proposed by the School. This also gives the opportunity for further Maharishi Schools to be opened in England in coming years with government funding. At the same time, it will be an inspiration for other schools to adopt Consciousness-Based Education. This achievement comes out of 25 years of success of the school, during which it has been consistently ranked amongst the highest achieving schools in the country.
