Homeschooling or home education is a distinctive approach to education in which children receive instructions under the guidance of their parents within the confines of their homes. Not merely a passing trend, it represents a significant movement embraced by families throughout the world.
Many Indian families have opted for homeschooling for reasons similar to those seen in American households. Factors such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, dissatisfaction with a one-size-fits-all education system, and concerns about bullying have motivated families in India to embrace homeschooling as a viable and personalized educational alternative.
Homeschooling is gaining traction as an increasingly popular option, in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune.
The homeschooling movement emerged and gained momentum in the 1970s, evolving into a widely embraced educational option today. As per one research around 3.1 million students spanning grades K through 12 were engaged in homeschooling in the USA during the 2021-2022 school year.
