In Malawi, mainstream education is held in high esteem. For many, it represents a path out of poverty, a gateway to employment, and a symbol of success. Parents and guardians make great sacrifices to ensure their children attend school, with the hope that one day, they will secure formal jobs and uplift their families. However, this hope, rests on a broken promise. The mainstream education system in Malawi is outdated, misaligned with the real needs of the people, and incapable of fostering true freedom and sovereignty. It is time we begin to embrace homeschooling as a meaningful alternative.
Mainstream education is valued very much in Malawi, despite all the flaws it has. Here are some of the reasons I think, it's high time we embraced homeschooling
In government schools, children are only taught what the government wants them to learn.

Pushes children through a system that rewards conformity and punishes uniqueness. Every child is expected to achieve the same outcomes, regardless of their interests, talents, or natural inclinations.

Rarely teaches entrepreneurship. Students graduate without knowing how to start a small business, manage income, or think critically about money.
We live in a digital age, yet the education system in Malawi is stuck in the past. Students are not taught about freedom technologies like Bitcoin, which offer powerful tools for economic independence and resistance to corruption.
Homeschooling is not about rejecting education—it is about reclaiming it. It is about restoring the family’s role in shaping a child’s future. It is about building a generation that values freedom, creativity, self-reliance, and community
