Michael Johnston: NZ Initiative Education Research Fellow on the Government backing down on proposed homeschooling changes

The Government's being criticised for rushing homeschooling legislation.  It's backed down on proposed changes that would've increased the oversight of those who teach children at home after pushback from families.  NZ Initiative Education Research Fellow Michael Johnson told Mike Hosking the state has the right to reassess how education is delivered.  But he says the homeschooling community has the right to be upset.  Johnson says it exists because it's a bit different from mainstream education, and you can't be too heavy handed with it.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
