IMPORTANT: Please note that this service does not directly register your child for home education. Instead, it's designed to guide and assist you through the registration process with the Department of Basic Education (DBE).
At OPSA, we're committed to helping you prepare and present the necessary documents to the DBE, along with a well-crafted motivation that highlights why home education is in the best interest of your child.
This service is completely FREE for all our OPSA members.
We're here to ensure your journey towards home education is smooth and successful.
