IMPACT OF HOME SCHOOLING ON PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF PRIMARY CLASS STUDENTS

DR. PARAS JAIN

Abstract

Home school in India is a form of alternative education in which is provided to children at home by parents or by tutors rather than in govt. or private schools. Home schooling is more prominent in major urban Indian cities, like Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune. In other parts of India, homeschooling has only a minimal presence. There are fixed rules to home education in India if a candidate appears for examinations. Parents use a curriculum prescribed by NIOS or IGCSE and then appear for the examinations. Parents may design their own curriculum by referring to syllabi of different boards. Present study is focused on finding impact of home schooling on physical and mental health of primary class students.
