Micro-schooling

Micro-schooling

Micro-schooling refers to small independent schools, privately funded by groups of like minded parents, with no dedicated premises (home rotation) led by a full time paid tutors (as opposed to homeschooling where a parent tutors their own child (or children)).

It is set to be a rising trend in the UK, where getting your child into a good local school is becoming increasingly difficult due to underfunding and overcrowding.

The UK Conservative party alluded to the concept of Micro-Schooling in 2007 with their concept of Pioneer schools. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1556740/Tories-propose-parent-run-pioneer-schools.html

Cushla Barry first coined the term micro-schooling in February 2010. http://microschool.blogspot.com/
