Show Notes
Despite a record number of children leaving home schooling, numbers are still higher than pre-pandemic levels.
Education Ministry figures show 2,286 children exited home schooling last year.
More than half of those leaving had been learning from home for less than a year.
Total homeschool numbers remain above 10,000.
Education Hub founder Dr Nina Hood told Mike Hosking there's probably a combination of factors, including children wanting to go back to school.
She says some of it is also likely about families and parents realising teaching their own children is challenging.
