The 50 year campaign to get Outback home tutors education credentials recognised.
Manage episode 422320945 series 3381470
For many outback families, distance education is the only schooling option available. Even when the classroom is your kitchen and the students are your children, the state government requires a home-tutor be on hand. It's a role usually filled by a parent or, if they can afford it, a governess, but it's not formally recognised or remunerated. And even if you do live near a rural early childhood education centre, there's no guarantee you can access it.
