ENTRANCE EXAM TUITION IS PARADOX FOR SCHOOLS

Poorest need entrance test help

Some selective state schools should do more to help poorer children pass their entrance exams, suggests a government-funded study.

Unfortunately money (or lack of it) is a bar to many things. It is an unfortunate fact that parents who can afford extra tuition are going to give their children an advantage over those who cannot, whether this is building towards entrance examinations or for general school work.

At K & C we encounter many parents who request tuition for specific school entrance tests as well as for 11+ and 13+. Private tuition working towards these tests creates a paradox for the schools. Clearly what they are looking for is students who can pass not students who can learn to pass through extensive preparation. Many schools continually change their papers to try to subvert this but tutors are never far behind.
