Rejected petition Government to still fund GCSEs for Home educated children

At present government states that as soon as you withdraw your child from main stream school you the parent are responsible for funding all educational needs . We ask that the government still provide all children no matter where they are educated with their GCSEs

More details

Unfortunately the School setting is not suitable for every child . And those not suited for school life actually do better in the home environment . Most home educated children are actually ready to take their GCSEs a lot earlier than they would if at school .All we ask is that the government please fund these childrens GCSEs . Every child should still receive their GCSEs for free no matter where they are educated .
