00:00Home schooling in the UK has seen a dramatic increase with the number of children being
00:05educated at home approximately doubling in recent years. This shift has been driven by
00:11various factors including lingering concerns from the pandemic, dissatisfaction with traditional
00:17school environments and a desire for a more tailored education. Parents are increasingly
00:23seeking to personalise learning, particularly those with special educational requirements.
00:29However, this rise has sparked debate about the quality and oversight of home education.
00:36Critics argue that homeschooled children may miss out on social interactions and structured
00:42learning environments, while supporters highlight the flexibility and opportunities for creative
00:50development. With educational authorities struggling to keep up with monitoring the
00:55growth of home schooling, it raises important questions about resources,
01:00regulation and the long-term impacts on children's futures.
