Normative action for quality education 2012, para. 54
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Class size and pupil-teacher ratio is another important indicator of quality of education. Overcrowded classrooms undermine quality education in many developing countries. Reducing very large class sizes helps teachers to perform better, and pupils to learn more. Norms sometimes lay down instructional time to be given to students at various grades of schooling, along with working days for teachers as part of their duties.
