Home schooling is growing more popular as many people aren't satisfied with their country's education system, but whether it is a better option depends on several things.

The most important question is: how good an education can you give your child at home? For instance, a graduate with a wide general knowledge and some teaching experience could probably teach a child more than a school would, because of having more time and only one (or at most a few) students. But if your own education hasn't been completed, to give a home-schooled child a chance you would need to find tutors, which can be difficult and expensive, and quality is by no means guaranteed. However, you are only allowed to home school your child if you can prove that you are able to provide a good enough education, so basically you either have to do it yourself or get others to do it.

There is also the question of your child's social and friendship needs - school provides more than just lessons. But, all that said, homeschooling does have many advantages and is certainly worth looking at. This information may help you decide.
