Lowering the standard class size in all public schools pushed



Classrooms in the Philippines remain one of the most crowded in the region according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) - Institute for Statistics. While it is notable that the Department of Education has recently reported of the attainment of its target 1:35 teacher-student ratio, the experience on the national scale is not uniformed and consistent. Schools in the provinces remain overcrowded which take a rigorous physical and professional toll on teachers which result in mediocre learning delivery due to a disruptive class environment,

This bill seeks to institutionalize an ideal class size of no more than 30 students. Any class exceeding 30 students up to a maximum of 45 students shall be considered a large class and prohibits class size of more than 45 students. Teachers of large classes receive additional compensation equivalent of 5% percent of their daily rate.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is respectfully sought.
