Indian Parents Embrace Homeschooling: Legal, Reduces Exam Pressure, Fosters Skills
•Homeschooling is gaining traction in India, with many parents opting out of traditional schooling due to concerns like rote learning, bullying, long commutes, and exam pressure.
•Content creator Shobhit Bakliwal highlighted this shift, noting that thousands of families are choosing homeschooling, which he claims is "completely legal" in India.
•The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this trend, as parents realized the benefits of home-based learning and chose not to send children back to school.
•Homeschooling is no longer limited to affluent families; middle-class households are adopting it to focus on practical skills like coding, entrepreneurship, and content creation.
•Institutions like NIOS and international boards like Cambridge Assessment International Education support alternative education pathways, and a new industry is emerging around homeschooling.
