Ever since being legalised in South Africa in 1996, home education has been on a steady growth path. There were 56 857 children being schooled at home, according to the 2011 census. Recent unverified estimates have put this number at 100 000.This number grew to 16 000 in 2018 and is expected to surpass 18 000 in 2019.Traditionally, home education has appealed to a variety of needs, from professional child athletes who have demanding training schedules to families that regularly travel.
What’s important to note is that pupils who join curriculum providers such as Impaq follow the same Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement curriculum as their school-going peers. They also fall under examination bodies overseen by Umalusi, such as the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute and the Independent Examination Board. Because of this, a home-educated pupil can return to a traditional school at any point.
It’s important to use a provider that will supply a schedule and structure of what needs to be done and by when.Parents also get detailed facilitator guides, which tell them how to teach a subject. Many parents find it easier to teach an early grade syllabus such as grade 1, but as children progress higher up the grades, these parents would typically seek the help of a tutor. There are hundreds of tutors across the country and they are independent of home-education providers.
