Homeschooling in Brazil: Debate and Regulation on the Agenda After Case in Jales

In Brazil, the homeschooling model is not regulated; there is a bill in progress. The discussion involves the legal status of homeschooling and the debate about its regulation in the country.

A couple from Jales was sentenced to prison in a semi-open regime for educating their daughters at home, aged 11 and 15, according to the available excerpt. The issue resurfaced on social media after this case.

All indications show that there is public interest in how homeschooling works in Brazil and in the need for objective rules for this form of education.
