I have been asked to put together some information on homeschooling. I though rather than just presenting in a Word document, I would blog about the information I come across.
Homeschooling is
an option for education that many parents are now choosing for their
children. In Australia there are between
29 000 and 60 000 homeschooled students.
In NSW during 2003 the BOS had 1400 students registered, by 2009 that number
had grown to 2342 registered students and some data would suggest there being
over 5000 students homeschooled in NSW.
According to HEA it is estimated beweeen 1-2% of Australian school aged students are homeschooled.

says there are over 1.4 Billion students over the world and 56 Million teachers world wide (K-high school)

No matter what the numbers currently are, homeschooling is growing in Australia and with that growth comes more support networks for homeschooling families. The more people I talk to the more I am told by people they would love to homeschool their children!
