The Independent reveals that a recent OECD report has ranked the UK 23rd out of 30 regarding class sizes in primary schools. More disturbingly, the gap between private schools (10.7 pupils per class) and state schools in the UK (25.8 pupils per class) is the largest. In fact, the gap is twice as large as the country with the second largest difference - Poland (12 vs. 20.6 pupils per class). I find this a worrying trend - not only in terms of the amount of attention each pupil receives in the state sector, but on the growing difference between rich and poor and class differences.
