Parenting & family — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 21 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 45% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

17 posts held, back to 22 May 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 17 posts for this entry, the most recent from 28 July 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Something that used to be a backbone for the homeschooling sector was the many fathers who provided so that moms could stay home and educate their children. Nowadays, most homeschoolers are people who desperately need to get their children out of harms way - how did the world change so quickly?

A slew of organisations objected to the two clauses, including the DA, AfriForum, the Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwysunie, and Federation of Governing Bodies of South African Schools. Addressing the SACP's national conference in Boksburg, Deputy President Paul Mashatile said the clearing house - the GNU dispute resolution mechanism that he chairs - finished its work on the BELA Act on Thursday evening. "So, last night I wen…

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube said she was constitutionally bound to ensure the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act was implemented. This despite her party's opposition to the controversial education legislation. Friday, 13 December marked three months since President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the factious bill into law, despite some opposition and politicking. While her party is vehemently opposed to the Basic…

It is quite important to read things within their context, to gain full comprehension, and when the Pestalozzi trust representative writes that my position cannot be defended successfully against criticism or attack, they fail to comprehend my meaning. The 'difference' I refer to, is what will change for us as homeschoolers, depending on the status of the act. This letter I wrote was sent out on the HSSA WhatsApp gro…

Since my letter of the 15th, it came to light that the Pestalozzi had had in its' position, positive confirmation about this pending situation since almost a week prior. It would have saved everyone a lot of angst had they shared the information to the sector, and perhaps we could have engaged with the minister as a sector, asking her to allow us to re-negotiate clause 35. Now, they will most likely solidify it, with…

We have come a LONG way this year in our effort to prevent clause 35 from becoming part of the punitive laws, but now that the BELA-BILL has become the BELA Act, it is necessary to tweak the nuts and bolts of our engagement with the Department of Basic Education. I'm aware of the Pestalozzi's "news" that BELA is not actually in "force", but there's really no substantiating this given the information we all currently…

Hi, Trudie Thanks for passing the message on! If you have questions about the basis for the Trust's advice on the deadline you can read the attorney's letter posted to the info group over the weekend. It gives a good explanation of both the case for and against the Bill being currently in force. The Trust's stance was adopted on the basis of formal legal advice obtained from its counsel, which includes a Senior Co…

Thanks for sharing Trudie and Tanya We still wait to hear about the validity of the 'entire' act, in terms of commencement, and it does indeed seem as if there has been a delay in the enactment of the Basic Education Laws Amendment because the Gazetted document didn't specifically stipulate a date of commencement. What I say is based on a document shared by a homeschooling mom who wrote to the Minister to ask, subse…

Showing the 12 most recent of 17 posts we hold for @HOME_schooling_in_SOUTH_AFRICA. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
