Laura McClure: ACT Education Spokesperson on the Government backing down from changing homeschool laws
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
The ACT Party is defending voting in favour of homeschooling legislation before it was scrapped after pushback from families.
The amendments announced last week would've increased checks on children taught at home.
Education Minister Erica Stanford now concedes homeschooling is more complex than first thought.
ACT's Laura McClure told Ryan Bridge they were rushed into voting for it.
She says they didn't have a lot of time to consider the changes and how they would've worked, and whether the homeschooling community was given enough of a say.
