The State of Microschools in 2021
Today, in 2021, the state of microschools is much different than it was in earlier years. Some have evolved, some have maintained their original concepts and philosophy, and others have abandoned them altogether. But one thing is for sure – as of late 2020, there has been a surge in the number of microschools springing up across America. Of those that exist now (and those that were created earlier), it is clear that microschools are no longer just a blip on the educational radar. They have become mainstream, and are being adopted by many parents who are looking for an alternative approach to traditional schooling. However, there are still some people who are not too fond of the concept of microschools.
They fear that microschools provide too much freedom to students, their culture, and the people around them.
Microschooling has not actually decreased in numbers across the world; if anything it’s increased even more than last year. However, many countries have run into problems trying to implement microschools successfully because of the lack of a global standard for how to go about microschooling. It’s been up to each country on its own to convert from a traditional school into a microschool successfully.
There seems to be no end in sight for microschools though. Despite its setbacks, COVID-19 still stirs up the need for students to have more power in their education. Fortunately, the microschool movement has spread far enough that it will never completely disappear.
From last year’s report on this topic, it is clear that COVID-19 has not stopped the rise of microschools at all actually. It seems that countries are still struggling with how to implement distance learning policies well enough to benefit everybody. Although the number of schools converting to microschools has not decreased, there is still a problem with finding a way to successfully convert them into viable learning institutions.
How Microschools Will Be Five Years From Now
So what will the state of microschools look like five years from now?
COVID-19 has made it clear that countries are not ready to give up on microschools completely. However, they are struggling to find a way to implement COVID-19 successfully in order for it to benefit everyone.
Our prediction is that most countries will still be trying out different conversion strategies so they can understand what works best for their citizens. There will likely be different kinds of microschools, and some countries might decide to go back to trying traditional schools again for a short while – or maybe even indefinitely.
However, it seems that this is not the end of microschools. The push for students to have more power in their education will most likely continue as we go through the pandemic and the idea of microschools is further spreading across the world.
Although we cannot exactly say what the state of microschools will be like in five years, we can speculate that it is not going to disappear. Microschools in 2021 have been thriving, and have successfully spread enough and now they are here to stay.
