Several parents in Gauteng have rejected a section of the proposed Basic Educational Laws Amendment Bill, which proposes a process for registering pupils who are home-schooled.Arrangement of an independent assessor was meant to increase the cost of home-schooling.
It also aims to ensure learning systems are implemented in a manner which enhances the right to basic education as enshrined in the Constitution.According to the bill, clause 37 seeks to substitute Section 51 of SASA to provide clarity regarding home education. Marika Green, who described herself as a home-schooling mother of seven children, said she had been teaching children at home for around 20 years.My eldest daughter is an award-winning student at the University of Johannesburg and currently pursuing her Masters studies. I strongly object to clause 37 of the bill, which says parents must apply to be registered for home-schooling. This is equivalent to requiring parents to ask permission to attend to God's given obligation to their children.
It was also highlighted the bill does not consider the unique needs of individual pupils and it seeks to impose curriculum assessment policy statements on the people, undermining their choice of different curriculums.
