Abstract | The present study focuses on the demand for private tutoring received by
left-behind children in China. A case study of a primary school in Sichuan Province
where there are 6.92 million left-behind children was conducted. A ecological model
is used as the study’s theoretical framework. Questionnaires were administrated to 13
students from Grade 3 to Grade 5; interviews were conducted with 9 students, 5
teachers and 6 parents/grandparents (guardians).
Among the left-behind children participants, 3 received private tutoring. Tutoring
they received varied and so did their reasons for participation. It is found that central
to the demand (i.e. the decision on private tutoring participation) for private tutoring
is a triad of migrant parents, left-behind children and grandparents. Factors on four
levels, i.e. family, school, community and society, contribute to the demand. Factors
on one level may influence or even lead to ones on another. In addition, rural-urban
difference in demand for private tutoring goes through this study and its implications
are discussed.
