South Africa is one of the countries in the world where homeschooling is legal. In this article, we will look at how to start homeschooling in South Africa.

The first step is to find out what your rights are as a parent. You can do this by going to the Department of Education website and looking for information under “Education”.

Next, you need to identify what type of education you want for your child. It is important that you have a clear idea about your child’s needs before you start homeschooling them.

After this, you will need to register with the Department of Education and get an ID number for your child. You can do this by filling out form R102 and sending it back with a copy of your child’s birth certificate (or other proof).

Next, you will need to find a school that offers an alternative education system – these schools are called Independent Schools or Special Schools. You can find these schools by contacting the government, local education boards, school boards and private education institutions.

There are many reasons parents choose to homeschool their children. Some of these include:

– The child is not a good fit for the school’s curriculum

– Parents want to give their children more individualized attention

– Parents have strong religious beliefs and want their children to be educated in accordance with those beliefs

– Parents feel that the school environment is too stressful for the child

– Parents may not have time to teach the child at home because they work full time or are a single parent
