Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to review and improve homeschooling pathways and support systems for autistic and neurodiverse learners and their whānau.

Petition reason

Many autistic and neurodiverse learners experience challenges within standard educational pathways. Families and whānau may seek homeschooling because of individual learning, sensory, social, emotional, or wellbeing needs. We believe homeschooling pathways and support systems should be fair, accessible, responsive, and better recognise diverse learning needs and circumstances.
