The unprecedented surge in homeschooling, believed to have been driven by the pandemic-induced shift to the remote learning model, continues to gather momentum post-COVID-19, and students of color are leading the way, according to a report.

Two years after schools reopened their doors, most experts expected the sharp rise in homeschooling experienced during the pandemic to recede to the pre-COVID-19 norms. However, a National Home Education Research Institute report found that the nationwide trend toward homeschooling has continued to accelerate, with 41 percent of all homeschooled students now identifying as non-white.
