Education Minister Di Farmer introduces legislation in Queensland to require homeschooled students to follow the Australian curriculum due to a 200% increase in homeschooling.
Education Minister Di Farmer introduces legislation to Queensland parliament, requiring homeschooled students to follow the Australian curriculum due to a nearly 200% increase in homeschooling in 2023. 10,048 students are now registered for home education in Queensland, up from 3,411 in 2019, and there were 43,892 children registered nationally in 2023. Minister Farmer's move is welcomed by some, but others express concerns about the potential impact of enforcing the curriculum.
