"A junior high school teacher today has to teach at least 20 lessons a week," says Chan, who cites the example of history, which is timetabled at two lessons a week per class. If a teacher has ten classes with 40 pupils each, then just in terms of marking she has 400 assignments to get through.
「目前一個國中老師至少一星期要上二十堂課，」詹政道質疑，以歷史一星期兩節課，一個老師要教十個班級、每班四十人來說，光是要批改的學生作業就有四百份，教學負擔極重。
