The two main factors for better education are knowledgeable teachers and smaller class sizes.
The more knowledgeable a teacher is the better and more creative they can be at explaining concepts and at responding to students’ questions.
The smaller the classes are, the more likely it is that students will receive the individual attention they need to improve. It means getting additional materials that help them fill in their knowledge gaps.
