HOMESCHOOLING
Abstract
Homeschooling can be defined as the practice of conducting partly or
entirely the education of children at the age of compulsory formal education by
their parents or the tutors assigned by these parents. Homeschooling is a common
practice as an alternative to formal education in many countries including
especially USA, Canada and several European countries. In these countries, parents
usually prefer homeschool for their siblings because of such reasons as their
concerns with the school environment and quality of instruction at school; a
desire to educate the child on some religious, philosophical or moral basis; special
needs of the child; financial reasons; and advancement of distance education
technologies. It is reported that homeschooled children are academically more
successful than their peers at school. However, there are opposing views about
the socialization of the homeschooled children. Most important drawback of
this practice is the difficulty of developing and applying the necessary curricula.
In our country, current legislation does not include any regulations regarding
homeschooling. Given the conditions in our country, homeschooling practice
cannot be said to accord with the principle of unity of education. However,
with the proper regulations, it can be considered as an alternative and complementary
practice which can reduce the burden of open/distance education
