Students' propensity for private English language tuition in Bangladesh: The unseen scenario of private tuition

Abstract

Private Tuition in Bangladesh has become an obligatory part of education in Bangladesh which is a common scenario nowadays. However, nobody is focusing on the ultimate result and impact on the education system regarding this issue. In this research, I tried to find out the untold impacts of private tuition among students. I also tried to find out the reason behind students’ priority of private tuition. Moreover, there is a difference between in-class activities in private tuition, and this study helps to explore the activities to show what actually is behind this shadow schooling which is increasingly popular among Bangladeshi students. For this research purpose, I conducted my research by using a qualitative approach which helped me more to explore clear opinions, experiences, and a clear concept. I took interviews with fifteen eligible participants. After the interviews, I tried to find out the keywords from the conversation to analyze the data related to my study. Furthermore, in the Findings chapter, I have raised the main problems and issues regarding private tuition with the participants’ opinions. Last but not the least, I have elaborated the findings with the common keywords I have found throughout my research.
