Focusing on critical pedagogy, this book examines the impact of entrepreneurialism and market forces on education, particularly through a cross-border ethnographic study of Japanese families in Singapore engaged in shadow education practices. It highlights the pervasive influence of corporate tutoring businesses and critiques the banking model of education, revealing its oppressive effects on student agency. Ultimately, the author challenges the dehumanizing outcomes driven by neoliberal and mercantilist ideologies, advocating for a more liberating educational approach.
