Abstract
The poster aims to provide an in-depth description of the phenomenon of private tutoring both in the lower and in the upper secondary school of the Swiss Canton of Ticino, to quantify it and to determine whether it can exacerbate social inequalities. The answers of the PISA 2009 questionnaire involving 1,104 students in the fourth (and last) year of Ticino’s middle schools and those of 1,300 students at their first or last year of upper secondary school to an ad hoc questionnaire were analysed. In both the school levels private tutoring is more common among the better educated upper class families who in many cases invest in private tutoring even if the school performance of their children is already satisfactory.
