A record rise in home education in England shows that more parents are withdrawing their children from mainstream schools due to dissatisfaction, especially regarding support for special educational needs and mental health concerns. Government statistics reveal that an estimated 111,700 children are now home-educated, marking a 20% increase from last year. While some families prefer home education for lifestyle or philosophical reasons, many parents feel they have no choice but to home-educate due to the inability of traditional schools to meet their children’s needs. Experts are calling for clearer regulations and support for home education.
