To what extent does the government control a home education program?
The province of N.S. recognizes that a child may be educated in public school, private school, or at home. Parents have the responsibility to decide which is best for their children. If home education is chosen, the parents have the responsibility to provide for the education of their children and the right to direct the children’s education as they see fit, provided that the N.S. Essential Learning Requirements are met. Sections 128 & 129 of the Education Act describe the process the government may invoke to ensure that the Essential Learning Requirements are addressed. In past practice, any perceived problems have been resolved in an informal and cooperative manner.
