Where you live
Whether you must register, which subjects you must teach and what records to keep all depend on where you live. Each guide below explains the rules in plain English and links to the official page for every state, province or nation it covers, so you can check the current rule yourself.
Read the page for your own country, then open the official link for your own state or province before you withdraw a child from school.
The same page also shows how a Muslim family can fit Quran, Arabic and Islamic studies alongside what the authorities ask for, and what records are worth keeping. This is general information, so confirm the details with the official office.
