Germany: Fundamentalist Christian Group Gets School of Their Own
BevK August 31st, 2006
Homeschooling is illegal in Germany, and yet the members of the fundamentalist Christian sect “Zwölf Stämme” (Twelve Tribes) have won a victory of sorts in their fight to educate their children outside of Germany’s state school system.
Bavarian officials have agreed to let the group’s 32 school-aged children be taught by their own teachers in a private school — albeit one that is subject to state controls. The school has initially been limited to a timeframe of one year.
