Activity 2.1

1. What are the advantages of a small school?

 Smaller classes are better for improving student achievement than larger classes.
Smaller classes allow for more flexibility in shaping learning programs to
individual needs. Pupils in small classes are more interested in learning, and
teacher morale is higher.

2. What are the difficulties/challenges concerning;

 Physical environment
o Since the class room will be filled with students, it would seem to be
cramped. Not to mention the variety of students from different age
groups in one room, which may or may not initiate some form of
bullying from the older members of the class.
 Social environment
o Being exposed to a different age group some student might act in certain
ways which will be acceptable to a different age group but not in theirs.

 Learning environment
o It would in fact be verry difficult to handle a multi-grade class for the
reason that there is a large number of pupils to manage. Unexperienced
teachers could have trouble with, which will result in a lot of stress,
which may affect their teaching methods, thus affecting the learning
environment.
