SPAIN LIVE - In Germany, the teaching of children is forbidden at home. In Austria, most cantons of Switzerland, France, England or Italy, it is allowed, and in Spain it is practiced by about 2,000 families. Whether this is legal, it argues the spirits.
The English constitution provides for a compulsory basic training. In Article 27, the teaching is always related to school, but not explicitly formulated. It is not fixed, that it is authorized Centres must take action. This "loophole" to invoke those families in Spain who teach their children at home. The Asociación Libre Educación (ALE), the homeschooling families represents, speaks of education compulsory, not schooling.
The Ministry of Education refers to the Education Act 2006, which clearly compulsory education - to retain - and indeed since 1857. The legal action against parents who are not enrolling their children would, in the individual regional governments.
has now spoken out and the English Constitutional Court to that effect. It dismissed the objection of two sets of parents from Andalusia and decided that school is school and not the home. have parents who teach their children at home by private tutors teach or injured, their educational mission.
This ruling is directed against two specific legal complaints, however, and is not universal. Although many media from the end of homeschooling protest derives liberal lawyers that this ruling does not change the regulatory context in which teaching was at home in Spain is not just strictly prohibited.
In reports, and on English television, is reported mainly positive about the families who teach their children at home. Often they are British, Americans, Belgians, in whose home the home schooling is legal, or mixed pairs. Some parents are teachers themselves, and in most cases, they have many children, so that the students taught at home not at work encapsulated social. The parents of the children have officially been out of school and signed their educational mission.
also the former ombudsman of the English people to defend the home schooling as a sign of the diversity of English society. And without any state control was not yet equipped this learning from. The children have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their education and make a formal degree: Among other things, can they integrate with 15 in the normal school, made the last year of compulsory Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) and have the title. Who at 16 years demonstrate a contract can make the ESO-examination voluntarily.
And it does not appear that the home educated cut this bad. Studies abroad have shown that these children are socially well integrated, do not show any behavioral problems and provide high performance. In England, reportedly more than 100,000 children are taught at home.
are in Spain so far no court judgments become final, the ban homeschooling in principle. But against parents their children just do not go to school and then get no education at all. This "absentismo" said crime of home schooling has absolutely nothing to do. Clementine Kügler
