"HOME SCHOOL" (Policy)

Mr Zulkifli bin Baharudin asked the Minister for Education what is the Ministry's policy with regard to families providing education to their children through "home school" and how will these children be affected by the introduction of compulsory education.

RAdm Teo Chee Hean: Sir, the issue of "home schooling" will be examined by the Committee on Compulsory Education, chaired by the Senior Minister of State for Education, Dr Aline Wong. It would therefore be premature for me to comment on the recommendations that the Committee may make.
