Homeschooling On The Rise (4ZZZ)

It’s legal to homeschool. 4ZZZ's Max Rowley asks why
parents are going it alone and homeschooling outside the
law.


Supervising production from Anthony Frangi. Training from the
Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the
Community Radio Network.


Produced for the 2020 CBAA National Features and Documentary
Series.


Homeschooling has been on the rise across Australia over the past
decade.


It’s legal to homeschool if you register, yet an estimated one in
two families are going it alone and homeschooling
illegally. 


Max Rowley finds out why an increasing number of children are
learning from home, and why some homeschooling parents feel torn
between protecting their child and obeying the law.
