Homeschooling Numbers Continue to Rise in Australia
Homeschooling is now on the rise after COVID-19 gave many parents and students a taste in 2020 of what it was like to learn from home.
Some parents struggled to help their kids learn at home during last year’s coronavirus lockdowns but others found it so beneficial they decided to continue.
The number of students taking lessons at home was already on the rise before COVID-19, but 2020 saw a further increase, education expert Rebecca English said.
She attributes the shift, at least in part, to the experience children had learning from home during the pandemic lockdowns.
