The Transition, Effect, and Stratification of Cram Schooling in Taiwan Jeng Liu Associate Professor Department of Sociology, Tung-hai University ABSTRACT In this paper, I start by illustrating the development and transition of cram schools in Taiwan, and demonstrate the important changes on institutional factors, policies, and legitimacy of cram schools. Next, I use junior high school student samples collected by Taiwan Education Panel Survey in 2001 to investigate the net effect of cram schooling on student s analytical ability and mathematical performance and to test the hypotheses that the opportunity of cram school participation reflects the patterns of stratification by gender and family backgrounds. According to my empirical results, first of all, cram schooling does matter: attending cram schools has significantly positive effect on a student s academic performance, for both general analytical ability and mathematical comprehension. Secondly, cram school participation is so widespread in Taiwan and it does not reflect specific patterns of social stratification: the opportunity of going to cram school for a boy student is not significantly different from that of a girl; the effects of family backgrounds on students cram school participation are not as critical as they were before. Key Words: Cram Schooling, Cultural Capital, Educational Stratification, Taiwan Education Panel Survey 2
