Figure 3.8 also highlights the opposite
situation, where class sizes are extremely
high because pupils are expected to attend
classes for relatively long hours over the
year. In countries like Guinea (with an
adjusted primary class size of 53), Kenya
(65) and Cambodia (70), there may be even
less room to adjust policies for UPE than
suggested by pupil-teacher ratios alone.
On the positive side, more time spent by
pupils in the classroom may boost student
learning.
