Tutoring is a billion-dollar industry in Australia. One in seven Australia children will be enrolled with a tutoring provider at some point in their schooling, according to [statistics released by the Australian Tutoring Association. ](https://www.afr.com/policy/health-and-education/tutoring-in-australia-is-a-billion-dollar-industry-20201029-p569mp/) Furthermore, the [Australian Government predicts](https://joboutlook.gov.au/occupations/private-tutors-and-teachers?occupationCode=2492) strong jobs growth in the private tuition sector, with an increase of people employed from 44,300 in 2021 to 48,900 by 2025. Australia’s story matches the global experience of a burgeoning tuition sector. This growth has been fuelled by global demographic changes and rising levels of educational attainment. While growth halted at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,[ the sector is growing again](https://www.economist.com/international/the-pandemic-will-spur-the-worldwide-growth-of-private-tutoring/21805216) as parents seek support for their children. Established in Japan in 1958, Kumon has spread throughout the globe. Today, there are 3.67 million Kumon students studying our programmes across 60 countries. Just over 41,200 of these students are in Australia and more than 8,400 are in New Zealand. Our method of learning and franchise system are tried and tested for our students and franchisees, with proven results. Considering the strong record of growth for the overall private tutoring sector, we are confident that Kumon will continue to grow, both locally and worldwide.
