United Nations Report Proposes Restrictions on Home Education

At the end of September last year, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a report on home education entitled Homeschooling through a Human Rights Lens. The report's perspective reflects the view that education is primarily the responsibility of the state. It recommends that governments enact strict oversight of home educating families. If the proposals were implemented, they would be very harmful for home education. For additional information, please click on the link to the article “What UNESCO Gets Wrong About Homeschooling”.

We are thankful for what we have and that EU does not subscribe to the ridiculous assertion of the state having primary responsibility for children’s education, but rather advances parents as having unquestionable authority over all aspects of their children’s wellbeing. Please keep us in prayer as we defend this stance against government overreach.

Ideology in Canadian Public Schools

The National Post recently published a column entitled "'Trans-affirming toolkit' tells teachers to put ideology above biology" that describes federally-funded classroom material created for public schools. The toolkit is described as being full of “propagandistic pseudo-scholarship," but it is intended for teaching children. Home educators can be thankful that by keeping their children home, they will learn necessary skills rather than questionable ideology.
