Victorian Home Education Up 66%

Figures tabled in parliament this week show a huge growth in home education. (Up by a massive 66% from last year)

We’ve graphed the rise over time using figures from VRQA Annual Reports going back to 2008.

These figures come as no surprise to HEN,  as they reflect the rise in enquiries that we have seen this year. Our support team has been busy assisting new families with registration, then providing advice and opportunities as they settle into their home ed journey.

If you’re new to home ed, welcome! You’re not alone – check out our Getting Started info and What’s On pages.

Whether you are a new home educator, or nearing the end of your child’s education, we’re here to support you. If you would like to support HEN, and to receive membership benefits including our quarterly ad free magazine Otherways, discounted events and resources, and access to group and work experience insurance, you can join HEN here.

This year’s VRQA Annual Report can be found here  (Pages 17 & 18 cover home education)

Reports for previous years are available on the VRQA website here.
