Tuition - Research
There have been a number of studies and meta analysis that focused on the effectiveness of one-to-one tuition. Some of these studies include:
1. Professor Benjamin Bloom, who examined the impact of one-to-one tutoring on students' academic achievement. The study concluded that students who received individualised tutoring outperformed 98% of their peers who did not receive such tutoring.
2. Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), an independent charity in the UK that funds education research and evaluates the impact of educational interventions. They have conducted numerous randomised controlled trials on one-to-one tutoring, which have consistently shown positive effects on academic attainment.
3. Meta-analyses combine and analyse data from multiple studies to derive broader conclusions. Several meta-analyses have been conducted on the effectiveness of one-to-one tutoring, such as those by Slavin, Cheung, Pellegrini and Hattie, which demonstrate the positive impact of tutoring and its inbedded practices, across various academic disciplines.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
