The Government has proposed tougher homeschooling oversight through late amendments to the Education and Training (System Reform) Amendment Bill shortly after it emerged Tom Phillips had been approved by the Ministry of Education to homeschool his children before their disappearance.
The changes, brought in via a late Amendment Paper after the Select Committee stage, would introduce ongoing conditions and reporting requirements for homeschooling families to retain exemptions, with the ministry arguing the current system gives limited visibility into whether children are receiving an adequate education once approval is granted. While officials have not confirmed the amendments were prompted by the Phillips case, critics say the timing raises questions.
Home education advocates have condemned the move as undemocratic and lacking consultation, warning the proposed powers could allow exemptions to be revoked without appeal and expose families to broad future regulations – factors that don’t apply to schools in the state education system.
The proposed law changes would introduce stricter oversight of homeschooling families by allowing the Ministry of Education to require ongoing reporting and compliance checks after exemptions are granted. The amendments would also give the Secretary for Education the power to revoke homeschooling exemptions if families fail to meet future regulatory requirements, which critics say are not yet clearly defined.
Speaking to legacy media, Cynthia Hancox of the National Council of Home Educators NZ (NCHENZ) said, “This has been introduced with no warning, no consultation with the home education sector despite attempts to meet with the minister and the ministry.
“We have no information on what the proposed regulations would look like, whether they’ll be reasonable, unreasonable or whatever.
“The amendment opens the door to any future Government imposing any additional conditions or regulations that it wants to, bypassing a parliamentary process.
“Because of the way the amendment is worded, if a family does not comply with whatever regulations might be introduced, the Secretary has the power to revoke their homeschooling exemption.
“That would never happen to a school or a teacher if they didn’t write a report or their students failed an assessment or something. There might be an improvement plan in place, there might be support, there might be future reviews, that kind of thing.
“But the wording of the law with homeschoolers is you can either fail a homeschooling review, or you can not comply with whatever regulations – we don’t know what they’re going to be – and have the right to teach your children summarily removed with no right of appeal. That is incredibly inequitable and incredibly stressful for families.”
A statement on the NCHENZ website said, “We are not opposed to regulation to make sure our kids are safe, we are opposed to home schoolers intentionally being left out of the discussion.
“As of now we do not know what these regulations will require or how far-reaching they could be. For this reason NCHENZ believes it is important to oppose this Bill in its entirety now while we have the opportunity to do so. We are not opposed to regulatory requirements, but they need to be flexible, relevant, and made with consultation.

Home schooling and functioning core families are obstacles to state tyranny and financial serfdom.
The edjucation and family rort system (spelling intentional) have been weaponized against the people.
What is interesting is that when a student who is also on the Autism Spectrum is teased, bullied or harassed to invoke a reaction, then the ASD student is removed from the classroom and in prolonged cases eithwer suspended sveral times (causing predicated failure) or outright expelled from the schools.
Sometimes, the parents of the ASD / ODD / GDD student finds another school willing to take the child (this is rare…as schools do not want students who are neurologically different…) but in many instances, that fails too, and the ASD child then sits at home in front of a screen, possibly self-learning subjects for which he / she will not get recognised credit for, or self-stimulating in the world of video games, or episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine which most likely were developed by those programmers and producers who are also on the ASD Spectrum.
When this happens, the MoE then lets the child’s education go out the window…no follow-ups, no IEP’s, no home tutoring being offered,…NOTHING! After all, Darwinism (survival of the fittests) is alive and well in New Zealand society, and has no place for deliberately-targeted ‘underperformers and …’Neuro-Diverse’ students.
So than, what is left?
Homeschooling…!
And now, the bitches in the current Uni-Party Cabinet are sneaking around inserting items in a bill that had already passed the consultation stage…a very U.S. Capitol Zionist move ‘after the fact’.
Notice how they brought the late Tom Philips into the argument here???
They’re going after Homeschoolers, as children who are Homeschooled have developed higher intellects, higher test scores, and later go on into Uni as ADULT (Over age 21) students without having to worry about the failed NCEA or the NZQA ‘Standards’ which in the past have been known to degrade the scores of certain students from certain targeted families!

This is a threat from this current Uni-Party Government and past governments to outlaw Homeschooling, and to bring Honeschooled Special Needs students back into the classroom so that they will be driven into a mental health crisis and possibly suicide, much to te delight of the Global Zionist Regines both past and present in Western Society, especially here in New Zealand!
Such students are then removed from the home, placed in ‘State Care’ amd then abused horrifically or worse as noted in past and ongoing legal cases! The MoE & MoH as well as the MSD have the pipelines all planned-out, Epstein-style!!!
Homeschoolers had better lawyer-up NOW and be prepared to sue these Cabinet-appointed vaginal aberrations into the ground who are doing these illegal, unwarranted, and undermining covert committee ops as applied to their Human Rights-violating Modus Operandis against the neurologically different and disabled in New Zealand.
& BTW- it was Lex Luxon who removed the benefits from those on the Autism Spectrum in the event they owned a home via inheritance, or purchased when home ownership was affordable.
Here’s who we’re voting for in November…

BTW, when has Dane Dugan of Autism NZ ever attended a hearing or even been invited to a ‘Select Committee Public Meeting for any input’??
When has Autism NZ ever attended an MoE / MoH / MsD meeting regarding any ASD child being permanently expelled from school whist the bullies continue on in the ‘From School to Prison’ pipelines?
& BTW, when Chippy’ held the Ministerial Education Portfolio, he was advised by the parent of an ASD child who had suffered in both the public and private school systems here to continue the use of the old Teacher’s College in Palmerston North by using the intact premises as a school for those with Special Needs…specifically those students with ASD.
Chippy ignored this suggestion, and insured that the property was sold-off to what is believed to be a foreign investor, and the perfectly good building left abandoned.
But, then again, Chippy came after ALL of our children with forced bio-weapon vaccines!

Chippy & Ardern forced the Covid-19 bio-weapon vaccine onto New Zealanders,and then chippy denies ever doing it…

So, the murder by the state of Tom Phillips is going to be the excuse used by the state to go after independently minded homeschoolers and bring them back into the fold of the state before they ‘break free’.
