The graph illustrates the average class size in six countries and makes a comparison with the world average class size in 2006.
Overall, the most crowded classes of primary and lower secondary schools belong to South Korea, whereas Iceland had the least class size of all.
Having more than 30 students in classrooms for both school types, South Korea was the leading figure in 2006, even though average number of students in the world were 26 for primary schools and 24 for lower secondary. In contrast, Iceland owned the minimum amount of students in the classes in the world, which was 15 for kids and 16 for teens.
Similarly, Japan also had very crowded classes consisting 26 children aged between 5-10 and 31 of 13-16 year-olds, which was the same as in Mexico’s lower secondary students. Another similar figures can be seen between the UK and Denmark due to having 17-23 students, as primary schools size of Mexico was.
