flag Sydney's booming private tutoring industry raises inequality concerns, with wealthy families accessing advanced education beyond public schools.

flag A booming private tutoring industry in Sydney is fueling concerns over educational inequality and the integrity of public schooling, with some students attending up to four tutoring sessions weekly, often learning material years ahead of their peers. flag Experts warn the unregulated sector, which includes thousands of businesses and tutors, may deepen disparities, as wealthier families can afford costly instruction while others cannot. flag Teachers report declining classroom engagement, and research shows significant tutoring use among year 5 students, though some acknowledge benefits like remedial support. flag Advocates urge national data collection, licensing, and oversight to ensure safety, quality, and fairness, stressing that access to a quality education should not depend on a family’s financial status.
