Whats the difference between home education and Distance Education?
With home education, parents develop or adapt their own program for their child. Parents are responsible for conducting learning activities, accessing educational resources, setting assessment tasks and monitoring the child’s progress. This learning, though based from the child’s home, is enhanced through the use of a variety of community resources. These include, libraries, museums, art galleries, zoos, sports and recreational clubs, religious facilities, local school connections and human resources. Distance education through a registered school provides a program for the child. A child is enrolled and registered teachers help monitor their learning. The school provides learning materials, requires students to respond to certain learning tasks, assesses student work and monitors educational progress. The parent is the supervisor or home tutor to the child within their home.
