I do not believe the avg class size for 13 year olds in the US is actually 18.3. In my experience it ranged from 30 to 46, and that at an LAUSD HS. Now, mind you, after "norming" and the staff is assured of teaching positions, a number of kids always disappear, at least as far as classroom attendance is concerned. Some are offically delted from the rolls, others remain on their for an entire year. |

Hi Liz, the data here is only for class size by 13-year-olds, a parameter for data that few countries maintain. If you see the data for government spending on education and the pupil-teacher ratios at the primary and secondary levels, you'll find Cuba performs extremely well. |

Class size indicates the number of students a classroom teacher is responsible for during the school year. Class size should not be confused with the more commonly used pupil-teacher ratio . Pupil–teacher ratio is one method used to determine the level of resourcing in education. It is calculated from the number of students in a district compared with the number of EFT (effective full time) educators. The number of educators includes teachers with other responsibilities such as school management, pastoral care special education and counseling. For this reason the pupil – teacher ratio is typically lower than the actual number of students in an average class. To gain a better overview of educational resourcing, other methods including expenditure per pupil and proportion of GDP devoted to public education should also be consulted. |
