Shadow education is becoming increasingly similar to schooling: often it has its own classrooms, buildings and content, which is why it sounds sensible to talk about its curriculum. The authors remark that shadow curriculum involves syllabi, objectives and outcomes, guidelines and educational ideas, nevertheless, the elaborate definition of the central concept does not appear earlier than towards the end of the book, because, as the authors explain, the curriculum cannot be understood without a wider context, which is presented first.

The book under review is divided into nine chapters. In the first chapter, various types of curricula are briefly described.

The authors also discuss why shadow education and its curriculum became a research topic.
