Hi. Dear sir please help me with the following question:
1. A government is looking at assessing the state schools by reference of a range of financial and non financial factors, one of which is average class sizes. Which of the following threee E’s best describe the above measure?
1. Effectiveness
2. Efficiency
3. EconomySir answer is ‘efficiency’. Sir efficiecny is an Input:output related measure. Here i can’t understand that where is input or output.
Secondly sir here what is meant by Average class size. Is it no of students or room volume?Average class size means the average number of students in the class.
The correct answer is efficiency – the more students in the class then the more efficiently the resources are being used (such as the salaries of the teachers, the rent of the classroom etc..)
Have you watched buy free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
Yes sir i have watvhed ur free lecture but this question was confusing me.. Sir got your point. But can u please a little explain me whybit is not effectiveness.. Like the purpose of looking at avg class size may be to check that if there are more students it is quite possible that we may not have proper check and balance on students. We could not achieve oir desired objective of providing them best education
Just because there is a small class it does not mean that the teaching is effective (it might be a bad teacher and the exam results might be bad as a result).
A measure of how effective the teaching is would be (for example) the % of students passing the exam.
The school wants to give good education, but they have to balance it against the costs – it would cost too much to employ the best teacher in the world and just have one person in the class!!!
So….they will measure effectiveness but will also measure efficiency.
