Parents in Kolkata have kept their 12-year-old twins out of formal schooling, saying they want the children to escape the pressure of competitive academics. The family is following unschooling, a self-directed approach where children learn through their own interests rather than a set curriculum. The case has drawn attention in India as a small but growing number of families question mainstream education and its focus on exams and grades.
Why now: The family's rejection of formal schooling feeds an ongoing debate about academic pressure and alternative education in India.
