1 teacher for many students seems to be a mass education requirement implemented at some time to protect the local elite who has highly educated parents and friends for home teaching or can afford private teachers. I don't have a clean source for this though, mostly personal experience.
> But I'd include some mandatory minimal content.
Most people, particularly young people, seem to have a speicifc curiosity naturally triggered over time with Youtube recommendations (ie. History of their country, a Pysics channel, or anything). What minimal content would you advise or can you think of as a general minimal content requirement?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explaining by people that don't like to pay taxes. To increase the teacher to student ratio from 1/25 to 1/5, you must increase the the taxes like x5, or at least x3 or x4, some costs like school cleaning are not linear. People prefer to pay less taxes, government prefer to spend the money elsewhere. Classes are as big as possible.
