Book Description:
|
Private tutoring--supplementary, out-of-school instruction offered at a fee to individuals or groups--represents a substantial household expenditure, even in systems that claim to have free public education. It plays out across, alongside, and even within some school systems. Emerging as a 'shadow education', private tutoring now operates as a system and industry crossing national, regional, and social-class boundaries.
