Class Size Around the World (The New York Times Saturday, August 18, 2012) By CATHERINE RAMPELL Earlier this week we posted some new data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on teachers’ working hours, pay and demographics around the world.
At a reader’s request, let’s now look at the size of primary and secondary classrooms in these countries.
While this particular reader was unhappy with the congestion of the typical American classroom, American schools aren’t really much more crowded than educational institutions in other developed countries. An average of 23.1 students fill the typical American primary school classroom, which is just above the O.E.C.D. average of 21.4 students. In lower secondary schools, the average American class size is 24.3 students, compared with 23.9 across the O.E.C.D.
