Sally Weale, an education correspondent for the Guardian, reports that there is a rise in home education in UK. Due to exacerbated budget cuts and recent changes to GCSE qualifications, there has been an increase of 13% of children who are home-educated in England from the year before.
Official figures published by the government’s school admissions watchdog revealed that more than 60,000 pupils were home-schooled in 2018/19, up from around 52,000 the previous year. A similar survey in 2015-16 estimated that 37,000 school-aged children were registered as home-educated.
