This project intends to investigate the extent and impact of private academic tutoring in Australia. Markets in private academic tutoring or ‘shadow education’ are growing. Globally, studies point to both positive and negative social, economic and educational impacts. In Australia, the federal government briefly funded private tutoring vouchers for students who did not meet literacy benchmarks (2004–08), but in 2013 equity concerns about families’ tutoring investments helped prompt a senate inquiry into the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). This project plans to study private tutoring across Australia. It aims to investigate families’ investments in shadow education and the implications of this for Australian literacy education policy. This may also be relevant in other countries where shadow education is also rapidly expanding in response to growing educational competition and testing agendas.

本项目旨在调查澳大利亚私立学术辅导的程度和影响。私人学术辅导或“影子教育”的市场正在增长。在全球范围内，研究指出了积极和消极的社会、经济和教育影响。在澳大利亚，联邦政府曾短暂地为未达到识字基准的学生提供私人家教代金券(2004-2008年)，但在2013年，对家庭家教投资的公平担忧促使参议院对国家评估计划-扫盲和数字能力(NAPLAN)进行了调查。该项目计划在澳大利亚各地研究私人家教。它旨在调查家庭在影子教育方面的投资，以及这对澳大利亚扫盲教育政策的影响。这可能也适用于其他国家，这些国家的影子教育也在迅速扩大，以应对日益激烈的教育竞争和考试议程。
