2. Japan and South Korea casesIn Europe, countries such as Finland, which are famous for their high-quality education, also implement small class teaching. Finnish schools pay attention to the individualized growth of each student, and the class size is not large, so teachers have more time and energy to tap the potential of students. Teachers can tailor their study plans for students according to their hobbies and specialties. In this educational environment, Finnish students have performed well in programme for international student assessment and other tests, and their innovative ability and comprehensive quality have been widely recognized by the international community.In Europe and America, many schools attach importance to teaching in small classes, and it is more common to control the class size to about 15 students. In the United States, for example, some high-quality primary and secondary schools and private universities often adopt small class teaching mode. According to the data of American educational research institutions, in the small class teaching environment (15-20 students in each class), students' academic performance has been significantly improved in reading, mathematics and other disciplines. For example, in reading, the average improvement rate of reading ability of small class students is about 20% higher than that of large class students. This is because teachers can adjust teaching strategies more accurately according to each student's reading level in small classes.

2. Cultivate all-round talentsI. Successful experiences of Europe, America, Japan and South KoreaIn the process of educational reform, Korean schools are gradually developing into small classes. South Korea's education pays attention to cultivating students' comprehensive quality. In a class of 15 students, teachers can better organize diversified teaching activities. For example, group project-based learning is carried out, so that each student can give full play to his own advantages in the project and cultivate teamwork spirit and the ability to solve practical problems. At the same time, the Korean education department found that small-class teaching helps to reduce the academic pressure gap between students and promote educational equity.

Japan and South Korea also have experience in class size control. Japanese school education emphasizes refined training, and the class size is generally small. In a class of 15 students, teachers can pay close attention to students' psychological state and learning progress. Japanese educational circles believe that a small class size helps to create a good teacher-student relationship, which has a positive impact on students' physical and mental health and learning motivation. According to the survey, in small class teaching in Japan, students' participation in class has increased by nearly 30% compared with that in large class.In terms of social concept, many parents and social people are accustomed to the traditional large class teaching mode and think that large class teaching is a normal state. To change this concept, education departments and schools need to carry out extensive publicity. The exhibition of educational achievements can be held to show the outstanding achievements of students in small class teaching, including the achievements of students' academic progress and comprehensive quality improvement.One of the biggest challenges to control the class size to 15 students is the allocation of educational resources. We need more hardware resources such as classrooms and teaching equipment, and we also need to increase the number of teachers. In this regard, the government can increase investment in education. For example, some governments in Europe and America support school infrastructure construction and teacher recruitment through special education funds. For example, some state governments in the United States will provide funds for building new classrooms or transforming existing classrooms to meet the needs of small class teaching according to the school's small class plan.
