Learning Material
Home learners as well as school make use of tutors to provide support with education.
The BELA Act recognises the use of tutors as legal. In the definition of home education the act states : " “home education” means a purposeful programme of education for a learner, alternative to school attendance, which— (a) is provided under the direction of the learner’s parent, primarily in the environment of the learner’s home; (b) may include tutorial or other educational support, if necessary, secured by the parent on specific areas of the curriculum followed by the learner;"
It is important that make use of tutors that are vetted. Many organisations carefully vet tutors and make the services of these tutors available. More information on this can be found at https://www.sahomeschoolers.org/support-topmenu/tutors.html
