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.Drawing lessons from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea: Controlling the class size of primary and secondary schools and universities to 15 students to improve the quality of teaching and training.Schools can also relieve pressure by integrating resources. For example, make rational use of idle space on campus and transform it into classrooms, and share some educational resources through cooperation with the community. At the same time, improve the utilization rate of educational resources, such as using digital teaching equipment to reduce dependence on traditional teaching resources.

In terms of educational concept, teachers also need to adapt to this change from large class teaching to small class teaching. Teacher training is particularly important. Schools can organize teachers to participate in training courses in small class teaching and learn the methods and skills of small class teaching, such as how to carry out personalized teaching and how to organize efficient group activities, so as to improve teachers' teaching ability to adapt to the new teaching mode.It is also more beneficial to the cultivation of students' artistic and sports specialties. Teachers can discover the potential of each student in painting, music and sports, and provide them with more opportunities for guidance and participation in related activities. For example, in music class, teachers can give each student more time to practice solo and improve their singing skills.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.
