      A lot of children in Britain are educated at home, they don’t go to school. The number of children being home educated recorded in Britain has increased by 65% over the six years. About 190 local governments showed that 36,609 children in these areas have been home educated for 2014-2015, with an increase of at least 10,399 pupils, BBC said. Among the latest figures from the 190 places, there were 178 with data for the past three years.For 133 of the places, there was data from 2009-10 to 2014-15, showing the numbers had risen by 65%.

     The number of home educated children may be far more than that, BBCreported, explaining that the figures only showed the number of pupils who hasbeen taken back by their parents from schools, which have been recorded.However, it is hard to know the number of the children who never go to school. It is not a must for parents in Britain to send their children to school, so they don’t have to explain why they don’tsend their children to school. But they have to provide a “suitable education” for their children at home.

     According to information provided by 41 places, the reasons why parentswho choose to educate children at home include a difference from lifestyle orcultural reasons, medical problems or growing pressure on school places becauseof increasing pupil numbers.
