They are prepared to represent their member families every step of the way - from consultation to correspondence and negotiation with local officials, and in court proceedings all the way through the appellate courts. The Trust will pay all litigation costs for home school cases it undertakes. Since home education became legal in South Africa, those families who attempted to act within the law are the ones who have experienced most problems from government officials. The main reason being that most officials responsible for home education do not know the law that they are required to apply, and that they have no knowledge of home education either. For this reason, home educators are consistently forced to ask the courts to defend their rights against unlawful actions by education and other officials.
