1.Identifying a Research Problem

Overcrowded classrooms and poor educational quality

• Specifying a problem

The problem is observed in the High School I’m working at, where the classrooms are

overcrowded, there are about 40 students per classrooms and the size of this ones is small, the
students can’t move, sometimes is difficult to do active pauses. The learners don’t have a space

to take a break, they must stay in the classroom, also there is no ventilation because the windows

are sealed to prevent the pupils for throwing out paper or other things to people that pass by.
Since I’m working in this institution I can see how the students get sick often because of the heat

and the odors in the classrooms. Some of the teachers don’t even have a formal education, they

just have their high school diploma. they are not prepare to take the challenge to share a good
education with the students.

• Justifying it

It is necessary to evaluate this case, because many institutions just want the money of the
student’s family, but they don’t care about the real educational situation. The government set a

principle saying that education is first, and the rest can wait. How can a child concentrate when

the conditions of the environment are not in agreement with the politics of the rights of children?

• Suggesting the need to study it

Similar cases are all over the world but countries that are develop don’t have this kind of

situations as much as we do, we as countries in development path should follow the steps of the
ones that have educational system working for the students. The classrooms should be bigger,

and the teacher well prepare to transfer their knowledge to the pupils. It’s important that the

government watch over these institutions and regulate all the aspects of education like it does
with the merchants.
