Estonia has 15 students per class in lower secondary education, compared with 20 students per class in Finland and 24 in OECD member states on average, it appears from the report titled Education at a Glance.
Estonian Minister of Education and Research Jurgen Ligi, who took part in the presentation of the survey, said that contrary to popular notion Estonia has almost the smallest classes among the OECD member states.
"For us very small class sizes are a direct indication of the need to bring the school network in order, so as to ensure a proper workload and motivating salary for teachers," the minister said.
