The chart illustrates the average students in a class in various

countries and compares these figures with the world average in 2006.
Overall, it is apparent that South Korea had the highest number of
children in a class. Besides, most countries had the proportion of
students in a class higher than the world average.
In lower secondary school, the class size of South Korea was the
highest, at 41 students, which doubled the world average of 20 students.
The figures in Japan, the UK, and Mexico were higher than the world
average, with 33, 24, 34 students respectively. The number of students in
a class in this educational level in Denmark and Iceland was a little bit
lower, at 19 and 17 students respectively.
On the other hand, in the two Asian countries, there were 31
students aged 5 to 8 in a class, which was 6 students higher than the UK
and Mexico. Denmark and Iceland still had the lowest average class size,
at 18 students, lower than the world average of 19 students.
