" The number of newborn babies in China has gone into free fall since 2017,
Chinese schools have, for decades, been crowded with children, with as many as 50 students
in one class. And if classes remain at the same levels, there will be a surplus
of 1.5 million primary school teachers. "
Why would classes "remain at the same levels"?
- quantified 3y agoIt might be cheaper to keep class levels at 35-50 students per class instead of having 10-20.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoGuess they would need more classrooms. Anyway it struck me as an odd assumption that instead of improving the quality of education with a better teacher to child ratio the answer would be; fire more teachers! Too much of this economists instead of humanists getting a voice.
