Band 7+: The graph below shows the average class size in six countries and compares it with the world average class size in 2006. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main points and give comparisons where relevant.

The bar chart demonstrates the average course sizes in six major countries compared with the rest of other countries’ classes in 2006.

From the beginning, there were a significant number of group sizes in schools in South Korea, but the lowest percentage was shown in Iceland during that period.

In 2006, the highest percentage of educators in primary school was 34% in South Korea, while Japan and the other world average classes depicted almost the same percentage, 26–27%. The quantity of pupils in lower secondary schools in South Korea was dominant; however, Japan and Mexico showed similar percentages of about 31%, and other countries’ class sizes showed lower percentages, as expected, than other large countries.

UK and Denmark’s class sizes were smaller than those in other countries, and the percentages ranged from approximately 17% to 24% in primary and lower secondary schools. The smallest quantity was shown in Iceland; however, the surprising thing is that the number of students aged 13–16 was higher than the number of educators aged 5–10 years old.
