Abstract
This chapter examines the COVID-19 pandemic's aftereffects as well as the prevalence and implications of shadow education in Cambodia. Shadow education exacerbates inequality while assisting students in overcoming obstacles in the classroom. Based on an examination of several articles, particularly those published recently, the chapter highlights the adaptability of tutoring by revealing that demand for it increased during the COVID-19 epidemic. Nonetheless, when students from low-income families had to deal with resource and technology limitations, the gaps grew. Policymakers then had to supervise shadow education services and increase access to technology in order to bridge these disparities. Despite these barriers, creativity emerged, proving that informal and official education could coexist. The chapter also covers how rising educational costs for wealthy students during the epidemic changed the nature of shadow education. Finally, the Education Ministry should identify the gaps that exacerbate them and seek to address them to advance enclosure in the educational system.
