Home schooling in South Africa as an alternative to institutionalized education

The dissertation involves an investigation into home schooling in South Africa as an
alternative to institutionalised schooling. This is done by means of qualitative research
techniques, whereby an ethnographic study of a single home-schooling family takes
place. This study occurs against the background established by a comprehensive
literature review of the context, nature, scope and current issues of the home-schooling
movement, in selected international countries as well as in South Africa. The study
investigates the modus operandi of a home school in an attempt to explore actual practice
and to uncover primary data. Limited recommendations for home schooling on the basis
of the literature study and the specific qualitative inquiry are made. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.(Comparative Education)
