The teacher-student ratio issue



Today's newspaper reported that cluster schools demand teacher-student ratio at 1:20. I would like to say that this demand is not new. I still remember that I had fill in a set of questionnaires when I was still teaching at school in 1999. One of the questions asked teacher-student ratio that we prefer. I had chosen 1:20.That was few years ago but until now I do not know what action has been taken based on the action research. May be MOE has its own reason for the large teacher-student ratio. Whatever it is, this problem need to be solved to make our learning session become more effective.
