Abstract:
This paper examines the lucrative, but vastly understudied, global supplementary education sector (e.g. private tuition; learning centres; cram schools). It marks a break from research on locational, socio-cultural and political-economy issues while concentrating directly on the economic geography of this metaphorically monikered ‘shadow education’ sector. Centered on the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the paper aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the economic vitality, business spatiality, and societal value of private tuition. It utilizes in-depth interviews with tutors providing one-to-one instruction in English, maths, or science in the regionally-differentiated tuition market. The findings demonstrate business vitality was impacted: COVID-19-related disruption to schooling produced a profound economic shock for the tuition industry, though new opportunities also emerged. Business spatiality was fundamentally rewritten not only in terms of delivery but also as local markets became national ones. The social value of the industry was drawn into question, as the service was both vital and regressive in its distribution. In conclusion, the paper argues that it is necessary to examine how the coronavirus pandemic is rewriting processes across the education system.
