Class sizes at primary school will double to accommodate 170 pupils affected by suspension of Tsung Tsin Think Academy in Hong Kong
- Number of Primary Four to Primary Six pupils in classes at Think International School will rise from 16 to about 30, parents told
Class sizes will double at an international primary school in Prince Edward to accommodate about 170 pupils affected by the suspension of their own school last week.
From Thursday, the number of Primary Four to Primary Six pupils in classes at Think International School on Boundary Street will rise from 16 to about 30, a parent of one of the 170 students told the Post, adding that the plan was announced on Wednesday.
“A teacher informed us the students will be distributed among the 11 classrooms at the Boundary Street facility, where our kids will be put into mixed-grade classes,” said the woman, surnamed Lam, whose nine-year-old daughter is in Primary Five.
“We worry about the quality of the studies now that classes will be expanded, and not to mention that different grades are learning different syllabuses so I don’t know how this will work out.”
She called the school principal “irresponsible”.
