Abstract

With the continuous development and innovation of domestic education, the fervor of “home schooling” in China has been increasing in recent years, and the issue of the legality of “home schooling” has received more and more attention. This paper briefly summarizes the social situation of “home schooling” in contemporary China and explores attitudes towards the “home schooling” phenomenon in the current Chinese education system.In the face of the denial of the legitimacy of home schooling in China’s educational environment, the paper analyzes the relationship between home schooling and various laws and regulations under China’s current legal and regulatory system, as well as the possibility of its future legitimacy. By focusing on the relationship between “home schooling” and the constitutional right and obligation to education, and analyzing and studying the legalization process of “home schooling” in the United States and other countries, the study provides some feasible solutions for the future legalization of “home schooling” in China. By focusing on the relationship between “home schooling” and the constitutional right and duty of education, the study and analysis of the legalization process of “home schooling” by the United States and other countries will provide some feasible suggestions for the future legalization of “home schooling” in China, with a view to facilitating the further developing of China’s education.
