| Parents
have the main responsibility, in law, for their child’s education.
Under the Education Act 1996, it
is the duty of parents with children of compulsory school age, to make sure
that their child has ‘an efficient full-time education suitable to
his age, ability and aptitude... by regular attendance at school or otherwise.’ The word ‘otherwise’ is important here because it allows parents to educate their children out of school. They do not need permission from the local authority, but parents must de-register their child if they are already in school. Use the menus on the left to navigate, or go straight to brief cases to find out more about young people’s experience of the law in these areas. |
