Cap class sizes at 23. MP Jamus Lim, who made this call in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 3), pointed out that Singapore has one of the highest average class sizes among advanced countries in primary and secondary schools. He said smaller sizes can help to reduce the perceived need and reliance on additional private tuition. It will also level the playing field and ease the load on teachers so that they can pay more attention to students who are falling behind.
