La majorité des familles interrogées considère que l’école n’a pas pour rôle d’éduquer les enfants. 86% d’entre elles estiment que le rôle premier de cette institution est d’apprendre aux élèves les fondamentaux dans les matières générales. Les parents mettent l’accent sur trois matières : le français (96%), les mathématiques (96%) et l’anglais (91%). C’est d’ailleurs pour les mathématiques (81%) et le français (49%) que les familles font le plus appel au soutien scolaire.

Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of the Sutton Trust, said: ‘Private tuition appears to be booming despite the recession. While it is natural that parents should want to do the best for their children, it does give well off families an advantage, particularly when money to help children from poorer homes is being cut.’(source MailOnline)
America’s Tutor Boom
Times may be tough for many Americans, but, as the quality of public education grows shakier, it still pays to be a tutor — or at least a corporate tutoring firm. While the rest of the economy has sputtered and stagnated, the “supplemental education” sector has grown tenfold over the last decade. Here, a brief guide, by the numbers to “America’s tutor boom”.
