UK: Educators fear for standards of home schooling
BevK May 12th, 2007
Educators fight back in the UK.
The government has issued its first consultation into the growing practice of home schooling to find out whether rules need to be tightened over how children are taught out of the education system.
Local authorities fear the safety and well-being of “a small number of children” is being put at risk by the “minimal” regulation of standards in home schooling, the Department for Education and Skills said in a consultation document on whether new laws were needed.
