Admission Olympics: the emerging tutoring market for kindergarten applicants

M. Nutsa Kobakhidze et al.

Summary: This study examines the increasing popularity of kindergarten admission preparation services in Hong Kong, which includes a range of services such as social skills training, portfolio editing, mock interviews, and parental consultation. Using qualitative methods, the study captures the perspectives of parents, teachers, tutors, and early childhood educators, contributing to the limited literature on this topic. The findings reveal a market-driven education ecosystem that prioritizes commercial interests, exacerbates educational inequalities, and is influenced by factors such as privatization and curriculum misalignment. Parents consider school choice, future aspirations, and perceptions of kindergarten hierarchies as major factors in seeking admission preparation services. The study also highlights the heightened competition in pre-nurseries and playgroups, emphasizing the need to address competition among young children.
