How does the declining number of student affect education

From the quality point of view, we can expect huge merits through the declining number of student.

Firstly, teachers can spend much time for each student. It could bring high quality of education.

Education at ease has been hot potato in our society for the last decade. The number of classes was cut and the education system was changed from six day school week to five. But some criticize that education level has been exacerbated since the policy was installed. Academic skill was not learnt well by students due to less classes. This is the matter of the number of classes. But we can extend this analogy to the number of students. If the number of students is small, the contents of classes would be also sophisticated.

Second, generate teacher’s leeway. Teacher’s leeway is also important factor to maintain high level education. Currently, it’s no exaggeration to say that teachers are up to neck for handling various duties and problems. Those are caused by the large number of students. My wife is school nurse in junior high school. She transferred to the current school which has 200 students. One year ago, she served the other school which had 400 students. Physically, her assignment such as medical check up was enormous. At the moment, she has leeway to take care of students from mental and physical point of view. Now she can spent time to consult student. It leads better education.

In conclusion, the declining number of student has some advantages. Trough the improvement of the quality, we can expect to strengthen national power at the end.
