Supreme Court ruling may send thousands of home-schooled children back to school

The Supreme Court ruled that exemptions for homeschooling based on religious or life convictions require stronger justification, potentially sending many "home-schooled" children back to school. Parents previously cited a law allowing exemption if no suitable school was nearby. Now, they must prove this more rigorously, as public schools are generally considered accessible. This decision impacts approximately 2,800 children. Municipalities like The Hague and Utrecht are exploring ways to enforce school attendance, aiming to ensure children's development and well-being.
