Homeschooling requirements vary by region, but generally include tuition, instruction, and proof of education. Parents may need to meet certain education requirements and teach certain subjects. Some countries require progress reports, inspections, or testing. Some have no requirements, but they may be implemented in the future.
Homeschooling requirements vary based on the laws of the region where someone is homeschooling their child. Normally, however, there are tuition, instruction, and proof of education requirements. The teaching requirements are essentially how educated the parent needs to be to start home teaching. Education requirements are the level of education that the region or country requires the child to be in certain subjects, such as mathematics and language. Many education authorities also require proof of education, which means that the parent must submit regular reports on their child’s progress, sometimes in addition to the child being tested by a regular school.
The required level of education of the parent who will be following primary education varies. In many cases, the parent only needs to prove that they have completed compulsory schooling. Some countries, however, require the parent to hold a teaching degree or attend home-schooling classes. Occasionally, the parent must also justify his or her child’s homeschooling to a board of education or similar authority which has the right to deny the parent’s request for homeschooling.
In most cases, the homeschooled child has to learn certain subjects, such as math, language, and science. Usually, she has to stay on a similar level to other children her age. The parent is typically not limited to required subjects, however, and can teach a unique curriculum as long as the required skills remain up to par. These particular homeschooling requirements are very common.
Many countries require proof of education by requiring the parent to submit progress reports or maintain a school portfolio of his or her child’s homework. The parent and child might also be inspected in their home to make sure all is well. Some countries require the child to attend a regular school for testing several times a year. If the child fails a test, he or she is normally required to go back to normal school.
While the vast majority of countries have at least some homeschooling requirements, both stringent and lax, other countries have none. This may be because very few citizens know about homeschooling or the local government has found little or no problems with allowing citizens to take their children out of a regular school to homeschool them. However, in some countries there are no homeschooling requirements to follow, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be implemented in the future.
