Dutch Court Tightens Homeschool Rules

Dutch Supreme Court just handed down a major ruling tightening homeschooling rules for religious exemptions—parents now must prove no suitable school exists within 6 km for elementary or 20 km for high school. After years of chaotic local policies, the court’s decision forces cities like The Hague to enroll all 102 unenrolled kids by September, sparking fears of educational gaps and legal consequences. Prosecutors are reviewing their stance, and the junior education minister wants to scrap religious exemptions entirely—putting thousands of families on notice that homeschooling for conscience reasons may soon be off the table.
