Description
Summary:While some forms of privatization reflect active government decisions to shift balances from the public sector towards the marketplace, the rise of private supplementary tutoring has shifted balances by default. The tutoring sector has grown in response to demands from students and their families and through the entrepreneurial initiatives of companies, teachers and informal providers. From the perspective of mainstream schooling, private tutoring is not simply a supplementary activity that operates in parallel. This is because private tutoring influences and penetrates aspects of mainstream schooling. As such, the default form of privatization has far-reaching implications for mainstream schooling as well as for wider social and economic development. This paper focuses on Asia, but its overall messages have global relevance.
