| 释义 |
Homeschooling is legal in New Zealand. The Ministry of Education reports annually on the population, age, ethnicity, and turnover of students being educated at home. The most recent statistics show: "As at 1 July 2017, there were 6,008 home schooled students recorded in the Ministry of Education's Homeschooling database. These students belong to 3,022 families and represent 0.8% of total school enrolments as at 1 July 2017. Out of the 6,008 homeschoolers 67.3% were the aged 12 or under, 68.3% had been home-schooled for less than 5 years, and only 4.2% had been home-schooled for 10 years or more.Under New Zealand law, all children aged six or over must be enrolled in a registered school unless they have been issued an exemption by the Ministry of Education (MoE). Application must be made to the MoE for a Certificate of Exemption for each child and a statutory declaration signed and sent to the Ministry every six months. In the initial application, the parent or caregiver "must satisfy the Ministry that [the] child will be taught at least as regularly and as well as they would be in a registered school.".[2] Parents or caregivers who homeschool may choose to receive a "home education supervision allowance" from the MoE for each exempted child.[3] There are a variety of complex reasons why parents choose to educate their children at home, including wanting to customise the education to the individual child and concern or disagreement with the teaching offered by registered schools.[4] Home schooling is also done for religious reasons and for special needs children (i.e. those who are gifted, problematic or have learning disabilities). As elsewhere in the world, home education is considered something of an alternative lifestyle. Concerns are sometimes raised about the quality of homeschooling because of the apparent ease in obtaining permission and lack of accountability of the teaching that is carried out; a lack of social interaction is also frequently cited as a potential drawback.[4][5] While official studies of the New Zealand population appear to be lacking, anecdotal evidence abounds of the quality of education attained by homeschoolers in our country, with many going on to be valuable contributors to society, easily obtaining entrance to institutions of tertiary education and receiving tertiary qualifications if they so desire. More research on the academic and social functioning of the home-educated is available internationally.[6] See also
