In education it certainly is the case that one size does not fit all.
How children learn and develop can vary greatly depending on many factors such as age of the child, gender and the current academic level of the child.
When teaching in a class of twenty-plus children, catering for all the different learning styles can be nigh on impossible so with limited TA’s (teaching assistants) available what can be done to improve education for the children who need a little extra help but do not qualify for their own TA?
More and more parents are now investing money in getting extra tuition for their children outside of school hours to improve their chances of obtaining higher academic achievements. These one on one sessions can cover all subjects on the curriculum and can be focused around the learning style of the child to get the best results from the sessions.
Some parents feel that they should not have to pay extra for this form of education and that the onus should be on schools to provide small group tuition to boost the overall exam statistics of the school as well as the individual results of each pupil.
