Abstract
Abstract Private tutoring continues in Tanzania, twenty-one years after its being officially banned. Despite the 1999 ruling, overtly organised private tutoring continues unabated through established infrastructures. This study focuses on the private tutoring centres in the Iringa Municipality. The data was collected by engaging with their owners and with the students, teachers and parents who participate in sustaining these services. Irrespective of its modus operandi, the tenacious practice of private tutoring signals an on-going demand, reinforced by the egregious gaps in the supply of education as it is delivered by formal systems nationally. Hungry for the highest standard of education for their children, parents seek to fulfil this manifest need through these auxiliary channels.
