Home Educators

EDM number 1892 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 25/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families and Schools.

That this House recognises and celebrates the hard work done by many home educators in Britain who educate children at home to an exceptionally high standard where traditional forms of education are not appropriate; further recognises the saving to the taxpayer provided by home educators whose children are not schooled at a cost to the Exchequer; and calls on the Government to review the policy of cutting income support for home educators.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
