If all the children in private education moved over to the state sector, the cost to the state would be in the order of £4.5 billion (based on a cost per child of £9k pa and 500,000 kids in private education - although the figure for the latter may be higher) plus the capital costs of school building to accommodate them all. I see no reason why privately educated kids should not pay for their university education provided that they are not discriminated against at the point of entry.
