Abstract
Class size is an educational issue that has challenged researchers, educators, and
policy makers for many years. With the rapidly rising demand for education and
the associated costs, the impetus behind the early class size studies was to reduce
the mounting costs of schooling (Hollingsworth, 1992). Today, there is an
increasing emphasis on the efficacy of education systems, as well as the quality of
teaching and learning. What began as a search to reduce increasing costs has often
become more an effort to enhance educational outcomes while keeping an eye on
the costs.
