Countries where school is compulsory

[Colleger]

Just interested really. Obviously Germany is one, introduced by Hitler, and the treatment of HE families there is appalling. Are there any other countries?

Hey, don't leave us now. Unless ds gets a place at a distinctive Italian Opera School, then you could be forgiven.

In response to your question, sorry, haven't a clue.

I want to know what countries to avoid! ;)

Come to France! It's absolutely fine to HE here, but with one proviso; children must receive instruction in French. You can't just HE all subjects in English, for example. The children need age appropriate French tuition.

Otherwise, HE is established here.

Bulgaria has an interesting take on it, school is compulsory, and if they dont attend, they get expelled???

Spain
Sweden

(I think)

That many!

I'd be happy for him to speak French. I have thought about a sabbatical in France actually or maybe Italy.
