Team Teaching Considered For Swollen Classes

Teacher trade unions have repeatedly preached against the student–teacher ratio that has been increasing gradually over the past years, blaming the deteriorating examination results in the country on it. The unions have always said the increasing student–teacher ratio and/or class size has some future negative effects on the general quality of education.  

However, this week Arone told Parliament that his ministry was currently exploring the possibility of reducing the student-teacher ration through team teach which would allow more than one teacher in a class at a time.On the other hand, he said this would also help the ministry absorb more unemployed graduate and temporary teachers.
