School Days - Part 2
It's a $25 million business. Countless parents spending the money and sending their children to after school tuition centres like the Kip McGraths . There's nothing new in private tutors helping kids brush up their reading, writing and arithmetic but these privately run tuition centres are popping up everywhere. They cater for thousands of children every week, children as young as six years old. Are parents panicking? Are they paying too much? Is it an indictment of our current overloaded school system? Close Up investigates the growing trend of after school tuition centres in Part 2 of our School Days series.
