A group of people argue that it is the best way to develop education by minimizing students in each class. I largely agree with that. In the present time, most of the classrooms are bigger and full of students in every institution. Some students tend to understand slower than others, some are the opposite. In both cases, teachers play the same role in teaching. The attention of the teachers are less prominent to individual student because of having a class full of students. That makes everything hasty alongside studies. Students are less concentrated and their understanding level drops in an environment like this. Furthermore, teachers also cannot give individual attention to each students because of limited class time. This issue can be erected by reducing students in each class. That is how a teacher can enhance the study environment with the proper attention and facilities. Students will receive direct attention and proper learning individually from the teachers. Alongside, their communication and understanding level will be better in this way. On the contrary, taking the step of minimizing students in class will be challenging if some points are not taken seriously. Reducing class sizes will require more teachers and classrooms. This attempt will also need good funding. More classes will require more qualified teachers. Besides, better teaching methods, teacher quality and developed materials are also required for student's better education. To make it happen, it will need better funding, investment and analytical thinking. In my opinion, i strongly agree that reducing the number of students in each class is the best way to improve education since it has potential good outcome. Thus, the students will get better education by learning from a spacious and comfortable environment.
