Press release about home education in the UK

PRESS RELEASE

Education Otherwise, Britain's largest and longest established Home Education Support Charity has just launched a new Campaign Website

http://www.freedomforchildrentogrow.org/index.htm

The purpose of this innovative new website is to inform and empower the home education community who are reeling from the news that the DfES suddenly plans to launch a full consultation about Elective Home Education without any dialogue with Home Education Support Groups or with home educating families themselves.

Education Otherwise has also written to the DfES and to Alan Johnson, Secretary of State for Education to remind them that home educators are stakeholders in any debate about the future of Elective Home Education.

Education Otherwise was established in 1977 by a small group of home educating families. One of these families was Iris Harrison's , whose diary for this critical time in the history of home education in England is now available on the new Campaign website.

Over the last 30 years Education Otherwise has helped thousands of families who want to take responsibility for their children's education outside the school system.

Haven't read up on it myself yet. I'll form opinions tomorrow.
