[Book Review] Theorizing Shadow Education and Academic Success in East Asia

East Asia has contributed greatly to the field of shadow education through various studies. In this study, “Theorizing Shadow Education and Academic Success in East Asia: Understanding the Meaning, Value, and Use of Shadow Education by East Asian Students” edited by Young Chun Kim and Jung-Hoon Jung and published by Routledge is examined. The book stands out as an original work in the context of the historical, cultural, and sociological examination of shadow education among East Asian countries. Considering that the field of shadow education is still in its developmental stage worldwide, this book will be an important reference source as it includes literature and research on the subject. The book appeals to a wide audience, including experts in the field of shadow education, educators, and those interested in education policies.
