Home-schooling will not be introduced in Slovakia for higher primary school grades, as Parliament on Thursday turned down a legislative proposal ushering in such an option presented by the liberal Freedom and Solidarity party (SaS). Only home-schooling for lower primary school grades is currently possible in Slovakia. Meanwhile, liberals claimed that home-schooling for higher grades has already been introduced in several European countries. "According to various global studies, home-schooled children - i.e. children educated by their parents or selected persons - don't lag behind their peers in results, social and economic maturity," it stated.
