Would like to share your experience that what were the main obstacles to manage over crowded class?Would like to please suggest that what measures you have taken to Manage your class during delivery?

@MUZAF85babefc9c In my simple word we use multigrade technique.

@MUZAF85babefc9c Government sector schools in our regions are almost always overcrowded. Despite having different sections , schools face shortage of rooms so mostly schools remain overcrowded. Managing overcrowded class in not easy. But pairing up the students, division of work, prior communication of schedule about study have helped ease the job a bit. But there is no easy fix. This is why STR student teacher ratio policy exists to facilitate managing the large classes. The younger the kids, the more difficult it is to pay attention to all

@MUZAF85babefc9c Research indicates that overcrowding leads to detrimental outcomes for both teachers and students. For instance, an excessive number of students can create an overwhelming atmosphere in which teachers struggle to engage effectively with each individual, resulting in diminished attention and engagement from educators.

@Qurat-ul-AinRana There are solutions for school overcrowding, but they are not simple ones. Major repairs, renovations, and even total building replacements are sometimes necessary. To ease overcrowding, many schools implement strategies such as staggered student schedules or the use of portable classrooms.

@GULZAR-ALI Some of the difficulties include discipline, lack of space in the classroom, inability of the teacher to assist weak learners, increased workload in terms of marking and instructional problems. According to Lannoy and Hall (2010) the learner to teacher ratio relates directly to the quality of schooling.

@MUZAF85babefc9c
Yes, managing an overcrowded classroom is challenging. The main obstacles I faced were limited space, noise levels, and difficulty giving individual attention.

To manage effectively, I:
Used group work and peer learning to engage students.
Set clear rules and routines.
Used seating plans to minimize disruption.
Incorporated interactive activities to keep students involved.

Consistency and patience helped maintain control and ensure learning for all.

@MUZAF85babefc9c **"Yes, managing an overcrowded class can be challenging. Some main obstacles include:

• Difficulty in engaging each student individually
• Increased noise levels and distractions
• Limited space and resources
• Challenges in assessing student progress and providing feedback

To manage an overcrowded class, consider the following measures:

• Group work: Divide students into smaller groups to encourage collaboration and peer-to-peer learning.
• Technology integration: Utilize digital tools to enhance engagement and facilitate personalized learning.
• Flexible seating: Arrange seating to promote movement and interaction.
• Clear expectations: Establish clear rules and expectations to maintain order.
• Prioritize: Focus on key learning objectives and activities.
