Abstract | This special issue is concerned with the growing global phenomenon of supplementary tutoring, which takes distinct forms in different societies and sometimes even transcends national boundaries . As the title of this issue we chose a metaphor well known in the field − shadow education − to highlight how private tutoring often shadows or mimics the operation of the formal school system (see the origin of the term in Marimuthu et al ., 1991; Stevenson & Baker, 1992; Bray, 1999), we do however recognise that sometimes the content it covers, its aims and purposes, may not coincide with those of formal education. The belief that schools alone − and formal education in general − cannot fulfil all of a student’s learning needs, creates the demand for tutoring worldwide . Much of student learning takes place outside of traditional schools, some may be of an academic orientation, while other times it may focus on non-academic activities or offer a hybrid model . |
