The impact of the pandemic on the educational sector was tremendous. The imposed lockdown in various parts of the country has resulted in educational institutes shutting down physical classes overnight and disrupting the learning process. However, ‘Necessity is the mother of all Inventions’ and accordingly, the education sector greatly evolved, embracing the technology for the overall management of the “schools from home” to accommodate the new government regulations of safety and staying at home.
But now that everything is returning to normal, most parents are unsatisfied with the conventional school system. They find it incapable of meeting the needs of 21st-century children and experience a lack of control over the educational process. As a result, home schools in India have become the preferred teaching method for many parents. What Is Homeschooling? Homeschooling is the popular process of educating children at home. It is usually carried out under the guidance of a parent or an online educator. Today, homeschooling is the greatest alternative to traditional education, making it a progressive trend.

In addition, today, 85% of surveyed online students say that they found virtual learning the same as or even better than traditional classroom-based learning.

The online classroom incorporates a wide range of features for parents who homeschool their children.

In addition, the top features that virtual learning offers to home school parents include:
