TEACHERS AS TUTORS SHADOW EDUCATION MARKET DYNA...

The so-called shadow education system of private supplementary tutoring has become a global
phenomenon but has different features in different settings. This book explores the ways in
which teacher-tutors' beliefs  social norms  ideals about professionalism  and community values
shape their economic decisions in the informal shadow education marketplace. Through
theoretical lenses of economic sociology and anthropology  this study uncovers strong social
and moral embeddedness of the shadow education market in social relationships  cultural norms
and moralities in post-Soviet Georgia. The book questions some of the basic assumptions that
the predominant neoliberal discourse promotes worldwide. The book is based on Kobakhidze's PhD
dissertation  which won the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) Gail P.
