Appeal for more monitoring of home teaching Apr 14 2008 by
Peter Collins, South Wales Echo
WORK done by children who are taught at home should be monitored
more often by specialist teachers to ensure they are making good
progress, education leaders in the Vale of Glamorgan have said.
An investigation into home-schooling has been suggested by the Vale
council’s lifelong learning and community wellbeing and safety
scrutiny committees.
The recommendation comes amid concerns that there could be a lack of
proper assessment of those children educated at home.
Parents are allowed to educate their children at home provided they
meet certain criteria, including allowing a specialist teacher to meet
the family and examine examples of their children’s work.
However, education authorities have no automatic right of entry to a
parent’s home.
Currently, there are 28 children in the Vale who are educated at
home, 24 of whom are seen by the local education authority at least
once a term."
