Other costs at private schools are paid through fees which are usually low. Schools under contract follow the French national curriculum.  Some private schools are not under contract giving them more freedom to teach different curricula although the state still monitors educational standards. Teachers' salaries at private schools not 'under contract' are paid through fees that are therefore much higher than those under contract. About 20% of French schoolchildren attend private schools. Homeschooling is possible but restricted in France.<ref>{{cite web |title=Legal status and resources on homeschooling in France |work=Home School Legal Defense Association |url=https://hslda.org/post/france |accessdate=29 November 2022}}</ref> Indeed, on October 2, 2022, Emmanuel Macron reinforced secularism by allowing homeschooling only under specific circumstances, such as for individuals with disabilities, high-level athletes or artists, or those belonging to nomadic communities, as part of measures to combat the spread of [[obscurantism]] in some families.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-27 |title="La limitation drastique de l'école à la maison est un coup porté aux libertés" |url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/vox/societe/la-limitation-drastique-de-l-ecole-a-la-maison-est-un-coup-porte-aux-libertes-20210827 |access-date=2024-01-03 |website=Le Figaro |language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sous-section 3 bis : Modalités de délivrance de l'autorisation d'instruction dans la famille (Articles R131-11 à D131-11-13) - Légifrance |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/section_lc/LEGITEXT000006071191/LEGISCTA000045175564/ |access-date=2024-01-03 |website=www.legifrance.gouv.fr}}</ref>
