Freedom of education

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freedom of education incorporates the right of any person to manage their own education, start a school, or to have access to the education of their choice without any constraints. In some countries enrollment in a public or government managed school system is compulsory and young people are threatened and intimidated by police if they don't meet the state criteria of attendance. In principle, anyone or any community can start a school, freedom of education is meant to eliminate any monopoly on education. Alternative schools typically do not enforce compulsory education, but the freedom of families to make their own choices, as to whether or not to send their children to school. Homeschool families are free to meet the educational needs of their own children.
