The Homeschooling in Romania study was conducted by MKOR Consulting between September 19 and 22, following the announcement by the couple Dana Nălbaru and Dragoș Bucur that they would be homeschooling their daughter.
Our objective was to explore parents’ motivations and attitudes toward this type of education, without analyzing the penetration of homeschooling among the Romanian population (which, by all indications, is too small to be statistically relevant).
Study Objectives
The study, conducted online, led to a series of at least interesting conclusions regarding this highly controversial type of education. The study was carried out between September 19 and 22, 2016, in the form of an online opinion poll, with a total of 1,710 respondents.
Media Coverage
Our study results were picked up by both the media and parenting blogs, being appreciated as an information resource for parents who want to start homeschooling their children. Here is a list of publications that featured information from our study, or wrote news or articles about it:
