The research is focused on the issue of compulsory examination of homeschooled children in umbrella schools. Its aim was to find out which variables influence opinions of parents on the process of compulsory examination in an umbrella school and problems in compulsory examination. Pedagogical education of the parents, the number and the age of the homeschooled children do not influence the opinions of the parents on the problems in the compulsory examination in the umbrella school.

“…While in the United States there are about 2.3 million homeschooled pupils, which is about 8% of all pupils (Ray, 2019), in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland, respectively, homeschooling is opted for only by parents of 0.3% of all pupils (Mazur, Rochovská & Kľačková 2019); however, this number is tending to rise. For instance, in the last fi ve years the number of homeschooled children increased from 70 to 579 in Slovakia, from 1038 to 3232 in the Czech Republic and from 2699 to 11466 in Poland (Rochnovská, Mazur & Dolinská, 2019).…”

The research is concerned with the possibilities of unschooling in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland. It applies both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Using an open-ended questionnaire, it maps the opinions of 78 parents from Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland on the influence of the preferred methods and forms of homeschooling (unschooling, classical methods and forms) on the course and problems of the compulsory testing of a child in an umbrella school. Based on the research findings, it can be stated that the parents of homeschooled children perceive unschooling mainly as self-arranged education, the support of the child’s interests, and also complement it with other methods and forms of education. The problems during compulsory testing in an umbrella school, which were presented by the respondents, consisted firstly of subjectively negative evaluations of the course of the testing, statements concerning the respondents’ fear and descriptions of specific situations or the behaviour of the examiner. The research has also shown that the choice of the methods and forms of homeschooling does not affect whether the parents and children face more problems during the compulsory testing.
