Legislation

Home education, country by country

Summaries based on official texts, with key articles in full, court decisions, pending bills and what families report day to day.

What this section is

A country-by-country guide to the legal status of home education. Each page brings together a summary, the most important legal provisions in full, court decisions, pending bills and accounts of how families handle it in practice.

How we use sources

We start from official texts (official gazettes, parliament and court websites) and reports from established news outlets. Every claim points to its source, and the original text of the law is available in the language it was written in.

What it is not

It is not legal advice. Laws change and every case is different. Pages marked as draft are still awaiting review by a lawyer.
