According to UNESCO :
The Primagama Homeschooling Centre provides homeschooling (sekolahrumah) in Timor-Leste. Its existence is legal and recognized by the Ministry of Education. This Centre follows the same curriculum as formal schools and adopts the same standards. Homeschooling can be provided by parents and families at home or other locations "in a unique, plural, and community-based form".
According to Article 11 of the Education System Framework Law,
- The requirement to attend primary school ends at the end of the academic year when the student completes sixteen years of age.
