In this episode of "Grow Your Tutoring Business," we dive into the recent experience of attending an event at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, where representatives from around the world, including leaders from the Tuition Trade Association, gathered to discuss the role of supplementary tuition on a global scale. With a focus on the impact of private tuition on governments, families, and young people, the event explored challenges and perceptions that vary significantly between countries. A common theme was how supplementary education—often seen as "shadow education"—is approached by different nations, with some calling for its regulation or even elimination. We also look at unique perspectives from countries like China and Egypt, where government reforms aim to reduce reliance on private tuition, and the UK, where self-regulation has maintained high standards in the industry.

Reflecting on these discussions, I share insights into the systemic educational challenges that drive demand for tuition and the essential role of innovation in delivering effective supplementary education. While there were strong debates, it became clear that tuition can serve as a valuable complement to formal schooling, filling gaps and offering unique support for children. Listen in for my key takeaways from this international dialogue, and why the UK’s self-regulated approach could inspire a balanced global framework for tuition. Let’s discuss how the industry can keep evolving to meet real needs ethically and sustainably.
