Sky News has found that since 2013, the number of children in home education has risen by 78%.
This comes after a series of Freedom of Information requests to local councils.
An estimated 45,000 children are now educated outside of a traditional school.
In England and Wales, the law states that a parent must ensure their child receives an education that's suitable for their age, ability and aptitude.
The Department for Education is researching if there should be greater powers given to councils to allow them to check what education some parents are providing.
It is also investigating the need for a compulsory register introduced for all home-educated children.
