A thriving homeschooling movement exists in [[Canada]], and homeschooling also fares well in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. It is relatively new in [[South America]], and reportedly faces strong government resistance in places such as [[Brazil]]. Homeschooling also faces significant challenges in many other counties. The governments in [[Shanghai]] and [[Beijing]] are largely opposed to homeschooling. In [[Europe]]an countries it is sometimes more restricted than the United States, or illegal, such as in [[Germany]]. In [[Switzerland]], many cantons still allow homeschooling, but not all.<ref>http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/regional/Switzerland.htm</ref>[[Sweden]] recently passed legislation which is expected to ban all homeschooling, except for children with medical exemptions, or foreign workers with the appropriate work visas.<ref>Hilary White, ''[[Socialist]] Sweden Moves to Ban Homeschooling'', LifeSiteNews.com August 11, 2009 (August 11, 2009)</ref><ref>http://homeschooling.families.com/blog/homeschooling-around-the-world-europe</ref> Recently alarming in [[England]] is a June 11, 2009 report on home education by Graham Badman, former Managing Director of Children, Families and Education in the County of Kent, which would effect critical changes in regulation of homeschooling.
