On October 2, 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that homeschooling would no longer be allowed in France from the start of the 2021 school year, except for medical reasons. Many families have been protesting against this decision, taking into account the fact that today more than 50,000 children are homeschooled. While in many countries, such as Germany, homeschooling is prohibited, it is legal in some countries and subject to conditions in others.
