An “unacceptable level of opaqueness has clouded elective home education” for too long, the chairman of an influential Commons committee has said.
Conservative MP Robert Halfon, who heads up the Commons Education Committee, has branded it “frankly astonishing” that the Government is only able to make a “best guess” over the standard of education children who learn at home were receiving.
And his committee has called for a national register to be established and more data to be collected to ensure all children out of school get a suitable education.
