Abstract
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has
created the largest disruption to education
systems in recent history, leading to unavoidable
and substantial learning losses among students
worldwide. While a growing literature has
examined the impacts of extended school
closures on multiple aspects of education, the
focus has almost exclusively been on formal
mainstream education, as opposed to "shadow
education" - more commonly known as private
supplementary tutoring.
