Outgoing President of the association, Mrs. Orie Vann, made the call at the all-sets meeting in Ikeja, Lagos, noting that the large number of students taken in a class was affecting the relationship gap between the teacher and students.

She said: “There are too many students in a class. In my time, the number was small, so teachers knew you and your ability, your weakness and stren-gth and were committed to helping, even if it meant sitting with us one-on-one to turn our weaknesses into strength.

“Now, you have about 50 or more in a class, so there is no way one teacher can know all of them.

“If Federal Government can reduce the intake to a reasonable number, it will go a long way in arresting our falling standard of education.”
