HOMESCHOOLING

 

Homeschooling is an educational approach where parents take on the responsibility of teaching their children at home, rather than sending them to traditional schools. Let's explore some key points about homeschooling in India.




1. Legal Status in India:

Homeschooling is legal in India : The Right to Education Act (RTE) of 2009 mandates free and compulsory education for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years. However, the RTE does not prohibit homeschooling; it only requires that children receive an education without specifying where or how it should be received¹.

Indian courts do not consider homeschooling or online learning to violate Articles 18 and 19 of the RTE 2009.

 

2. Unschooling Approach:

In India, homeschooling is often referred to as *"unschooling"*. Unschooling focuses on                      teaching children based on their interests rather than following a set curriculum.

Unlike traditional schooling, where students adhere to a uniform curriculum, homeschooling allows parents to design a customized curriculum that aligns with their child's interests and learning style.

 

3. Benefits of Homeschooling:

Flexibility : Homeschooling provides flexibility in terms of scheduling and pace. Parents can adapt the learning process to suit their child's needs.

Individualized Learning : Children receive personalized attention, allowing them to explore their passions and learn at their own pace.

Holistic Development : Homeschooling encourages holistic development by integrating academics with real-life experiences.

Freedom to Explore : Students can delve into various subjects beyond the standard curriculum, acquiring specific skills and knowledge.

 

4. Resources and Challenges :

Online Resources : Homeschooling parents can access a wealth of online resources, educational materials, and virtual classes.

Self-Awareness : Homeschooling fosters self-awareness and encourages children to take ownership of their learning journey.
