Dynamics of development of family education in the Ulyanovsk region (2014-2024)

to study the dynamics of the development of family education in the Ulyanovsk region for the period 2014-2024, to identify factors influencing its distribution, and to assess the impact on the educational outcomes of students. Methods: Analysis of the regulatory framework, statistical analysis of data on students in home education, sociological survey of parents (N=200), analysis of data from the state final examination (SFE), expert interviews (N=10), comparative analysis. A steady increase in the number of students in home education in the Ulyanovsk region over the past 10 years has been noted. The main reasons for choosing this form of education are dissatisfaction with the quality of traditional education and the desire to individualize the educational process. The educational results of students in home education are comparable to the results of students in general education organizations, but there is a higher variability. Thus, the study confirms the relevance and demand for home education in the Ulyanovsk region. For further development of this form of education, it is necessary to improve the regulatory framework, provide targeted support to families, improve the qualifications of tutors and create conditions for the exchange of experience between families who have chosen family education. This will ensure equal opportunities for obtaining a quality education for all students, regardless of the chosen form of education. A sociological survey of parents made it possible to identify the main problems faced by families who have chosen home education: lack of time and resources, the need to acquire teaching skills, and the complexity of organizing the educational process. At the same time, parents note such advantages as the possibility of a flexible schedule, an individual approach to learning and strengthening of intra-family ties. Family education is a popular alternative to traditional education in the Ulyanovsk region. Further work is needed to improve the system of support for family education in the region to ensure high-quality and accessible education for all students.
