Don’t the schools and education wallahs keep banging on about “class size”? Their argument being that a larger class size diminishes the quality of education (training, in our case). Can we expect an increase in “re-course” and/or “chop” rate?
That argument is usually brought out to hide the fact that the quality of teaching has, more often than not, decreased.
I would doubt very much whether the recourse rate will increase, it might look worse, however, as the same percentage is now a larger real number.
In any case, it is not the fault of the students if they're placed in big classes.
[FWIW, I was in classes of 30+ all the way through school - both primary and secondary - and it never did me any harm.]
