Newspaper cutting response “Secondary school class sizes cut”

I agree with the education sector that a reduction in the maximum class size is important to solve the problem. Due to the dropping birth rate since 1990s, the demand for secondary schools reduced greatly. In order to protect secondary schools from closure, the only solution is to cut the class size. This can help to maintain the employment of teaching staff in the education sector.

Cutting the class size also brings a lot of benefits to the future generation. It’s a well known fact that the class size in Hong Kong is so large that students do not get enough care and support from teaches. Under the above policy, teachers have fewer students in one class and can get to know what they needs clearly. Teaching a student do not only means teaching them academic knowledge, it also means taking care of their personal growth. In the long run, our future generation will be better prepare for the future and become more competitive.

Apart from these, students have more resources and space for development. As the class size is smaller, more resources are available for them during lessons. This will definitely benefit them. However, there are defects for cutting class size students will have less classmates, therefore they have fewer friends. The social skills among younger generation may not be as good as ours. However, this problem can be solved.

By having some activities in school, such as camping, hiking or even some inter-class competitions. It may help the students get to know more friends. For the benefit of students, I hope Hong Kong can take an action to promote the small classes education plan as soon as possible.

I think most student don't like to do assignment at all. But doing homework can practicing our learning skills and review our memories. Unless schools will rewarding them for a excellent job , it may encourage them to do their work without teacher forcing to do. But choosing what kinds of rewards are also very important, different ages , should have different prizes. For teenagers, I think most likely, are stationeries, something that are practical, or even money. We are big enough now, we can manage money by ourselves, so money can also a good way for rewarding the good students. If schools really can handle this rewarding plan well, it may really reach the Goal!
