Question

What are the quality principles of learning multigrade structor.

Answer 1

• Most systems of education worldwide are predicated on the notion

that learners enter, progress through and exit from ‘grades’ alongside a

group of peers. Learners who fail to be promoted from grade to grade

become grade repeaters and join a group of learners in the previous

grade. Grades correspond closely with the age of the student and

usually comprise students who share birthdays within one calendar

year. In systems where, for various reasons, the age of entry of

learners varies by more than one year, learners move through the

system with peers who entered the first grade within the same calendar

year. Each grade group comprises one or more classes of learners,

depending on the number of learners. Each class is usually taught by a

single teacher at any one time. These classes may be referred to as

monograde classes.

• In some primary school systems the same teacher teaches all subjects

to his/her class throughout the school year; in others different teachers

teach different subjects. In some systems the same teacher will move

with his/her class group from one grade to the next. In others the

teacher is identified with a particular grade.

• Most systems of education prescribe national curricula for teachers

and learners that are ‘graded’. Text books and other learning
