Supplementary Education: What's all the Fuss?

Saturday Schools and supplementary tuition is providing a bridge for many parents and pupils, to make possible their academic goals that are beyond existing mainstream provision.  Below is a list of the main reasons why parents are investing in supplementary education including other benefits.

• Preparation for entrance exams to selective schools
