Homeschooling Regulation Reform of 2013
Rationale
We move from compulsory licensed schooling to allowing homeschooling with safeguards. Not all children thrive in traditional school settings, so education should adapt to each student’s needs. Families gain choice, while the state ensures quality through inspections, testing, and national standards.
