Every school is very different because of a wide variety of factors, including the parents, parent council, board of management, teachers and location of the school. Schools are often affected by the socio-economics of the area in which they are located. Have the witnesses seen much variance in home schooling that occurred in schools across the State in the past academic year? I specifically refer to the number of classes, the follow-up, available resources and the engagement by both the school and student in the home schooling.
