A new study by the ESRI reveals that while most Leaving Certificate students in Ireland utilize private tuition (grinds), there is limited evidence to suggest a significant improvement in grades for higher-achieving students. The study contrasts Irish practices with those in Germany, where grinds tend to be used by lower-achieving students from affluent families to avoid repeating a year.

The study found that woman students are more likely to take part in grinds than male students in both countries. In Germany, the findings show that private tuition can benefit low-achieving students by helping them maintain the grades needed to progress to the next year of school.
