Call to set up a campaign to facilitate and support an education network outside the brain-washing, oppressive, coercive, authoritarian, inadequate, collapsing limited capitalist education system.

Initially, for children (and their parents) who are already being educated at home and small local networks consisting of individuals who co-operate to educate small groups consisting of children their parents and others who teach or wish to be taught.

It is proposed that those who are already doing this or who are considering withdrawing their children from school to education them outside the capitalist state/private education system begin the process of widening existing local networks. Also it can facilitate linking individuals or families who are educating children on their own into a network, to share resources, ideas and share experiences.

It is proposed that those already involved with this form of education should be the initial motive force in forming the network. Other networks that exist are also encouraged to get involved as long as they adhere to anti-authoritarian principles and non-hierarchy.

It is also proposed to have a workshop at G8-rural Rural Convergence Centre to kick-start preparing the launch of a widespread campaign. This rural convergence centre is being organised on anti-autoritarian, non-hierarchical co-operative communities.

There are already some children and their parents who will be staying their who educate their children at home and are linked into to a small local network. They think this is a very good idea.

Or set up your own campaign in your own country/town/city

It is proposed that others take this idea to meetings wherever you live and see if there is support to set up your own network and link into other networks via Indymedia.

It is also proposed to link into the Dissent National Networks for their support www.dissent.org.uk who are already are involved with alternative forms of education, to which a proposal can be made if a Worksop does take place at the G8 protests/gathering rural and city based convergence centres and discussion spaces..

If you are not going to the g8 protests then still get in touch so that you can contribute to launching a campaign.

Or

Set up your own contact for your network in your village/town/country, and link into the network via indymedia. Local Indymedia centres can be used to post information as well as connected web-sites, through networks like dissent.org.uk, or set up your own sub-network.

Right now is the time to do it!
