There has been a 500% increase in the number of parents wanting to home school their children compared to the same time last year.  Since the start of the pandemic Home Education Network (henireland.org) have seen hundreds of new families starting to home school. Meanwhile Tusla have seen 1,000 new home school registrations since the beginning of the school year.
