Bill: Home Schooling Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4423
Description[?]:
| We wish to see greater provision for child and parental needs in education. Therefore we propose that home schooling is allowed once more. The recent change seems unnecessarily illiberal and authoritarian. Diversity in education can only be a good thing and education must correspond to the needs of the child. We also feel that the parent, not the state, must be the best judge of what is best for their child. |

Proposal[?] to change Education for children under adult age.

Current: Education is compulsory and has to happen at school.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Education Reform Act has just been accepted by the Presidium. We do not want to change this and we do not support home schooling. If we allow home schooling we cannot guarantee the quality of the education the home schooled get. For this reason the LLP and PSP wanted to ban home schooling. Leroy Saylor, LLP MP on Education |

| Message | Mr Speaker, If, with regulation and adherence to a national curriculum the quality cannot be guaranteed then I would advocate the quality of education cannot be guaranteed at any educational institution. The Labour Party jump at the shadow of there being an issue, without following their point to its logical conclusion that any form of education might not "guarantee the quality of education". Thomas McDonald Leader of the Republicans |
