Brief explanation corresponding to advantages and disadvantages of Multi-grade classes:

A Multi-grade class brings together students and teachers while preparing better stages of development
in a learning environment. Students can develop healthier social relationships, positive attitudes and
enhance leadership, organizational, listening, sharing, and many other important skills. Teachers can
create effective syllabus and curriculums plans for students. Problem-solving, higher-level thinking, and
learning methods develop at an earlier point with multi-grade classrooms; simply because of the
immersion experience that brings students together. A Single teacher, or the group of teachers
responsible for the multi-grade classroom, typically stay with same students until they graduate to the
next level. This garners the opportunity for students to work with the same teachers for several years
instead of having to meet new teachers at the beginning of each new school year. Students are
continuously exposed to re-teaching, as they listen in on, and benefit from lessons which are being
taught. Students are also exposed to pre-teaching. This both prepare and stimulate the young students
thinking.Meanwhile, multi-grade system is difficult to implement in large schools with heavy
population.Textbooks in use for teaching only meet the need of mono-grade teaching schools practising
multi-grade teaching often suffer from inadequate material resources. In remote areas, teachers’
passivity, irregularity, ill planning, non-accountability and engagement in non-academic pursuits create
and maintain a low school profile
