Different contexts, similar mindsets? A comparative study of parental decision-making in private tutoring in Hong Kong and the Czech Republic
Transcending western-centrism and nationalism in education
Proxy involvement of Czech parents in education
While previous research on private tutoring has focused predominantly on its meso- or macro-level determinants, this qualitative study, anchored in the literature on parental involvement, explores proximal factors, including psychological and situational influences, that affect parental decisions to seek private tutoring. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 65 Czech parents, who considered buying or had bought private tutoring f…
‘If the School Does Not Provide What I Expect, I Have to Supply It From Other Sources’
Shadow education (various forms or types of private supplementary tutoring) and its implications and determinants have been explored by the scholarly literature, yet gaps remain in the understanding of its complex relationships with mainstream schooling in various national settings. This study reduces one of these gaps by scrutinising the role of parental dissatisfaction, exploring which aspects of schooling make dissatisfied parents consider pro…

Education for disabled refugees in South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe
International treaties mandate the educational inclusion of refugees and disabled people, but many remain excluded with disabled refugees facing compounded exclusions. We compare research about educational access and inclusion for disabled refugees in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, with data generated from policy analyses and interviews with disabled refugee students and families, education officials and NGOs. A vertical cross-case analysis …
Labour Market Success of Initial Vocational Education and Training Graduates
This paper compares within-country programmes of initial vocational education and training (IVET) in Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany and their outcomes. Specifically, it aims to analyse and compare the labour market success of graduates of different tracks at the ISCED 3 level in both early and later stages of their careers. The comparison is based on the analysis of PIAAC 2013 OECD study data. A composite multidimensional indicator was c…
Different subjects, different incentives
Shadow education
Post-transformational neoliberal reforms in the Czech Republic have established a competitive quasi-market, in which – at the lower-secondary level – academic-track schools (grammar schools or gymnasia) compete for students in the regular-track schools. These reforms have also brought a rise of shadow education (private supplementary tutoring) provided by individuals and private companies. Even public schools are sometimes providers of shadow edu…
An ordinary moonlighting activity? Determinants of the provision of private tutoring by Czech schoolteachers
Shadow education in the context of early tracking
Previous research on the implications of early-tracking education systems has not specifically focused on how studying in academic and non-academic tracks shapes the features and characteristics of shadow education (private tutoring) that students are involved in. The study compares the scale and features of private tutoring and the underlying factors of its reception among lower-secondary students in the two tracks. Analysing a representative sa…
Teachers as tutors
The phenomenon of ‘shadow education’ – whereby parents arrange private (paid) lessons for pupils to practice, supplement or extend the school curriculum – is on the rise globally (Bray 2017). It is
Private tutoring lessons supply
In many parts of the world, shadow education has become a major enterprise. Such is the case of the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, including the Czech Republic, which is in scope of this article. The study analyses the Internet supply of private tutoring lessons in academic subjects and assesses the micro- and macro-factors influencing the offered lesson price as set by private tutors. Based on the quantitative content analysis of 2058 ind…
Private Supplementary Tutoring in the Czech Republic
The study contributes to the literature on private supplementary tutoring by shedding light on this phenomenon in the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to identify the reasons for seeking out private supplementary tutoring and to assess the factors underlying its demand. In the representative sample of 1,265 senior upper-secondary school students from two distinct regions of the Czech Republic, 37% acknowledged participation in private tuto…
