Content:
An in-depth examination of the regulatory, entrepreneurial, and organisational factors contributing to the expansion and transformation of China's supplemental education industry. Like many parents in the United States, parents in China, increasingly concerned with their children's academic performance, are turning to for-profit tutoring businesses to help their children get ahead in school. China's supplemental education industry is now the world's largest and most vibrant for-profit education market, and we can see its influence on the US higher education system: more than 70% of Chinese students studying in American universities have taken test preparation classes for overseas standardised tests. 'The Fruits of Opportunism' offers a much-needed thorough investigation into this industry.
