Parallel Systems of Formal General Education and Private Tutoring
Tamar Bregvadze_2013Abstract
Abstract taken from the PDF of the thesis (page 3); source: Ilia State University repository.During the past decade the general education system in Georgia has undergone substantial changes. Most attempts to analyse progress within the system have so far been concentrated on two aspects of formal education: private and public schools. This dissertation analyses efficiency of the system in Georgia from a different angle, and focuses attention on a third important, but shadow aspect of general education: supplementary private tutoring. A representative survey of parents of school-age children as well as qualitative data obtained from the stakeholders of the system describe the scope, drivers and effects of private tutoring in Georgia. These findings are then used to: a) analyse interrelation of parallel systems of formal general education and private tutoring; and b) estimate overall efficiency of general education system in Georgia.
