Despite a record number of children leaving home schooling, numbers are still higher than pre-pandemic levels. \xa0

Education Ministry figures show 2,286 children exited home schooling last year. \xa0

More than half of those leaving had been learning from home for less than a year. \xa0

Total homeschool numbers remain above 10,000. \xa0

Education Hub founder Dr Nina Hood told Mike Hosking there's probably a combination of factors, including children wanting to go back to school. \xa0
