We are already spending a lot in education - so their maybe no wriggle room to spend more.

CBC basically need 2 or 3 teachers in class. It very intensive teaching and evaluation on the go. Evaluation is done every lesson!

I am not sure public or even private school can afford to have 2 -3 teachers in every classroom. My kid attend Cambridge education system, typical they have 2-3 teachers in every class - they do exams every Tuesday -but we pay an arm and a leg.

What gov need to do instead is to adopt innovation like Bridges International - where teachers and students are armed with tablets - that would make it easy - to conduct CBC.

But nobody is listening. They don't want Bridges - yet Bridges International have achieved a lot with 'slum' schools.

Yesterday watched a video of Olympic Primary School in Kibera. One teacher and a class of 125 pupils.
Now can such a teacher even access the whole class after a lesson? The teacher would need a whole day only for the accessment.

The question is how many such school exist. kibera is really the extreme because there is really no land to put up school there. I wish we had such figures - pretty sure ministry has school records that they use for capitation.

And such school like Olympic primary - really need to have more teachers - if not more classrooms.
