Abstract

In recent years, China’s shadow education market has been expanding. Due to the continuous expansion of the shadow education market in various countries, research on shadow education is very popular in the world. Through the research, it is found that in addition to China, the United States and South Korea have the existence of a shadow education market. However, the corresponding measures and attitudes adopted by the governments of various countries are different. This paper takes a comparative analysis of shadow education policies in China, the United States and South Korea, and traces back the history of the policy. Overall, China gradually tightens the policy on shadow education, while South Korea gradually loosens and liberalizes the policy, and the United States always liberalizes its policy on shadow education. The differences in their policies in these countries stem from the differences in social education equity, students’ physical and mental health, family economic pressure, education cost and more importantly, the method of selecting students.
