The ongoing debate in the global school arena is how small class sizes can benefit students. This conversation about student-teacher ratio in schools has led many schools across the world to rethink the number of students allotted to each class.
But does class size in schools really matter? Various researches seem to agree, with the most significant of them being STAR or Student Teacher Achievement Ratio. The study found that reduction in class size catapulted student achievement equivalent to about three months of additional education. The average size of a regular class used for this study was 22.
So what is the ideal class size?
It may be interesting to note that there are various parameters that are essential in measuring the performance of students in the classroom. While class size is one of them, there are other factors such as the availability of resources, quality of the teachers, and school amenities that also contribute.
So, when you’re scouting the city to look for a school that fits your child best, here are certain things to look out for.
- Infrastructure: Is the school located in a quiet place and equipped with all the amenities essential for your child? Does the school offer ample space where students can unwind?
- Teacher quality: Are the teachers qualified and skilled? A good teacher can handle almost any class with ease and make students feel at ease.
- Resources: Do the students have access to all the resources necessary academically? A well-stocked library and computer access can be invaluable for students.
