Government data has revealed it was already on the rise, regardless, with a 27 per cent increase in homeschooling in Victoria over the past three years.

Sue Wight, Spokesperson for Home Education Network, told Tom Elliott many parents now felt equipped to help their child learn and had seen many benefits during the enforced homeschooling over the past couple of months.
