UPDATED: How the BELA Affects Homeschooling: Registration Process and Key Requirements Explained

The BELA, signed into law by President Ramaphosa, reaffirms homeschooling as a valid form of education in South Africa. Key points include compulsory registration for learners aged 6-15, adherence to curriculum standards, assessment requirements, and legal defense options. Kairos provides support and guidance for families navigating these changes.

What about standardized testing?

In South Africa, the matric exit exam continue to hold great significance, but there are alternative paths to tertiary education.

However, they still play a role in tertiary institution admissions – both locally and abroad.
