Summary of the European stance on Home Education

Permalink 12/08/11 @ 07:00:23 am , Categories: German Law, European Law  


This review, by Milton Gaither, popped up on my radar today and I thought that it serves as a quick refresher of the issues of home education in Europe and Germany, especially for those new to understanding the situation.  I believe he also raises a valid point questioning whether Islam is playing into the added reticence of authorities towards legalising home education in Germany today.

The Status Quo

For those new to the situation in Germany: home educating is (perceived as) illegal.

The common citation for forced school attendance is to protect against parallel societies.

Educating Germany discusses arguments for (and against) legalising home education in Germany.

We report on human rights violations; provide translations of media articles, interviews, court hearings and personal stories into English; and suggest practical ways people, internationally, can lobby for change and support those who long for freedom of education.
