Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The research was focused on socio-cultural dynamics of tuition academies assuming that degraded learning environment in government educational institutions in Pakistan have provided space for private tuition academies. The objectives of the research included: local perception of parents, teachers and students about tuition academies, link between social statuses and tuition trends, teaching techniques at schools and tuition academies and motivational factors for the students to join academies. Main findings of the study showed that educational institutions of primary and secondary level possess basic academic significance as they bear fundamental importance for scholastic grades and positions. Self-motivation for joining the private tuition academies by the students was one of the major stimuli whereas other factors like social status, trend or fashion also played a pivotal role in establishing bonds with the academies. Moreover, the research also thoroughly examined learning and teaching structures of government and private academic institutions.
