Zhang analyses the phenomenon of private supplementary tutoring
from a global perspective. The expansion of such tutoring alongside
schooling is among the striking global shifts since the turn of the
century. In many countries over half of the relevant cohorts of
children receive private tutoring, with that proportion in some
locations exceeding 80%. The sector has far-reaching implications
for social inequalities, (in)efficiencies in educational processes,
study burdens on students, family finances, innovation, and
employment. Yet greatly-needed government regulations have
typically been slow to catch up with the phenomenon. Commentary in
the volume juxtaposes countries with strong regulations with
counterparts having weak regulations. Conceptually, the book
considers forces changing the roles of multiple stakeholders,
including governments, entrepreneurs, teachers, families and
students. A useful read for students and researchers interested in
comparative education and governance.
