HOME EDUCATION VOICES: EDUCATION CAPITAL AND THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
We present findings from a survey conducted as part of research on Home Education. The study aimed to explore the motivations, values, and experiences of home-educating families. The data, collected from 27 families, representing 52 children and young people, reveal trends in home education ideology, the value placed on different aspects of learning, and the perceived increase in educational capital for individuals. While the small sample size limits generalisability, the findings provide valuable insights into the priorities and experiences of home educators and importantly, the young people.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0257/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
