The best way to improve standards in education is to ensure that class sizes are small. Do you agree or disagree?

Having smaller
class
 sizes is suggested to be the most effective means of enhancing educational standards. I completely agree with
this
 assertion for two principal reasons. First and foremost, keeping the
class
 size small is beneficial for learners.
This
 is because they receive more attention in the
class
, as the regular classroom time allocated per student is greater in
such
classes
. When
students
 have more time to ask their teacher questions, they are more likely to understand the topic in the agenda thoroughly.
However
, the rate of knowledge acquisition in larger
classes
 of 30
students
, which is currently the case in most countries, suffers in comparison, for the lecturer/teacher has to move on having the majority in mind, thereby disregarding those with a slow learning speed.
Secondly
, if the
class
 size is small, teachers can manage their
classes
 better and
thus
 improve the quality of their lessons. From my personal experience, I have always studied in
classes
 composed of more than 30
students
, and I know that those sitting at the back normally played games on their phones, chatted and even listened to music. Educators, in the meantime, didn't notice
such

, because these
students
 were out of sight, so it was a challenge to make sure that everyone paid equal attention to the material being covered. In small
classes
, with as few as 10
students
,
by contrast
, I doubt that

 can be observed because the pedagogues can see everyone clearly and punish irresponsible

 if any. In conclusion, I fully support the view that reducing the classroom size is the key to improving the quality of education

 since both teachers and learners themselves are likely to benefit largely from
this
 approach.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
