The graph below shows the average class size in six countries and compares it with 
the world average class size in 2006. Summarise the information by selecting and 
reporting the main points and give comparisons where relevant. 
The given column graph illustrates the average class size in primary school and lower 
secondary school in six nations in 2006, and compares it with the world average. On the 
whole, the class size of primary school in the UK and Denmark was larger than the class size 
of lower secondary school, whereas in the other given countries it was smaller. 
It is clear that the UK and Denmark had higher number of students in primary school (23 
and 21 respectively) than those in secondary school (22 and 19 respectively). A similar trend 
was seen in the world average, with 26 and 24 students in primary and secondary classes 
respectively. South Korea had the highest number of students in both primary and 
secondary classes (nearly 35 in each class). Japan had an average primary class of 26 
students, whereas the secondary class size was slightly bigger with 31 average students. The 
biggest discrepancy in primary and secondary class size was seen in Mexico, where the 
primary class strength was only about 20 students, but secondary class had a little over 30 
students. Iceland had the smallest primary and secondary classroom size of 15 and 17 
students on an average respectively. 
Overall, the teacher-taught ratio was the best in Iceland with the smallest classroom size.
