Abstract
Home education is at an early stage for the public, researchers, media and educational authorities in China. Yet the research relating to the development of home education has been entirely ignored. In particular, the literature focusing on the legal status of home education is negligible in the educational context of China. There is no literature that has systematically explored the relationship between Compulsory Education Law and home education. The public, parents, and researchers have many questions as to whether home education is legal or not. This article provides comprehensive firsthand legal data and an in-depth analysis of the relationship between home education and law in the Chinese context. This article aims to contribute to the literature and reveal the legal status of home education in China.
Keywords home education, law, legal status of home education, China
