Summary

The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.

Reason: This map is highly inaccurate and should not be used. The colouring does not correspond to actual legality. E.g. Finland is orange although homeschooling is recognized as legal by the authorities, and the U.S. is yellow although homeschooling is legal in all fifty states. Many countries in Europe are wrongly marked in red. Compare with en:Homeschooling international status and statistics and see discussion there and at en:Talk:Homeschooling, e.g. #Legality of Homeschooling.

This file has been superseded by Legality of Homeschooling.svg. It is recommended to use the other file. Please note that deleting superseded images requires consent.
