The concept of shadow education may be unfamiliar, but should hold no terrors. This is a review of a book about private tuition. The book has been co-published by the Asian Development Bank and the Comparative Education Research Centre of the University of Hong Kong. It can be downloaded free of charge from www.hku.hk/cerc The book uses the metaphor of the shadow because much private supplementary tutoring mimics the mainstream. As the curriculum of the mainstream changes, so does the curriculum in the shadow. And as the mainstream expands, so does the shadow. The important role of education in economic and social development has long been recognised by policy makers. However, they have concentrated on mainstream schools and universities and have neglected the role of shadow education. Shadow education refers only to tutoring in academic subjects that are assessed for advancement in education systems. This tutoring is provided for a fee and takes place outside standard school hours. The focus excludes tutoring in sports, music or other non-examined activities. It also excludes free tutoring by teachers, family members or others. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of the scale and nature of shadow education. Professor Mark Bray has researched the subject over a long period. Each of his books has added new knowledge and insights, to the extent that he easily merits recognition as the world’s foremost authority in this field. Chad Lykins also has significant experience in connected fields.
