AHEd write (Nov 2010) to Education Minsiter, Mr Gove MP, to ask him to sort out the chaos caused by Section 436a of the Education Act 1996 - he's being tardy with a response - see what you could do to help!
Have You Signed the Parents Declaration!
NOTE: despite preparing submissions and requesting an invitation to give oral evidence to the Inquiry into the Badman review, AHEd, AEUK and the Facebook group (Stop the government stigmatising home educators) have sadly not been included in the witnesses called to give oral evidence. 07.10.09
re Badman Proposals and Consultation on Registration and Monitoring
... HAS REPORTED, THE GOVERNMENT HAS ACCEPTED, THE NEW CONSULTATION HAS BEGUN - all on the same day!!!
"The government doesn't care about the evidence. If they did there would never have been a review in the first place and its recommendations would not have been accepted by the government. The real problem is that the government publicly claims that they implement evidence-based policy, but time and time again they have shown that they actually manufacture policy-based evidence."

Every Child Matters?

Home Education: because EACH child matters, individually!
"Schools have not necessarily much to do with education....they are mainly institutions of control, where basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school." Winston Churchill
