"Elective" Home-education: choice or necessity?

本研究旨在了解南海岸地区青少年退学人数的增加。政府调查显示，家庭将对学校的不满列为退学的主要原因。该研究将确定家庭的不满意味着什么，以及注销是否对获得继续教育和高等教育有影响。在南海岸，选修家庭教育（EHE）家庭的数量很高，在该地区注册家庭教育工作者比例排名前十的地方政府（la）中有三个。去年，英国青少年的登记率上升了38%。指导性研究问题是：1。在南海岸地区，有多少在家接受教育的青少年因为对学校的不满而在家接受教育？这种不满是由什么构成的？与LAs的关系有什么影响？在获得继续教育和高等教育方面，这些群体是否存在劣势？利用国家学生数据库和洛杉矶一级的数据，该研究将对特定地区的青少年进行案例研究并进行比较，这些地区的青少年注销率高，接受继续教育和高等教育的机会不同。这些地区将通过分析OfS POLAR4在洛杉矶地区的五分位数数据来确定，青少年将通过社交网络来确定。南海岸学校、FE学院、地区大学和LAs将被要求完成问卷和调查，以了解地区对取消注册的看法，并选择一个较小的样本进行后续访谈，了解他们与青少年及其家庭关系的性质。

This research seeks to understand the increase in adolescents deregistering from school in the SouthCoast region. Government research shows families cite dissatisfaction with school as the main reason forderegistration. The research will establish what families mean by dissatisfaction, and whetherderegistration has an impact on access to further and higher education.In the South Coast, the numbers of elective home-education (EHE) families are high, with three of the top10 Local Authorities (LAs) by percentage of registered home-educators in the region. UK rates ofadolescent deregistration rose by 38% last year.Guiding research questions are:1. How many home-educating adolescents in the South Coast region are being home-educated becauseof dissatisfaction with school?2. What comprises this dissatisfaction and what impact do relationships with LAs have?3. Is there a disadvantage to these cohorts regarding access to further and higher education?Using data in the National Pupil Database and that held at LA level, the research will conduct andcompare case studies of adolescents within specific localities with high deregistration rates andvariations in access to further and higher education. These localities will be identified through analysis ofthe OfS POLAR4 quintile data within LA regions and the adolescents will be identified through socialnetworks.South Coast Schools, FE Colleges, regional Universities, and LAs will be asked to complete questionnairesand surveys to understand regional perspectives on deregistration, with a smaller sample selected forfollow-up interviews on the nature of their relationships with adolescents and their families.
