14. Choose the solutions to the following problems, then fill in the table.

Possible solutions: pupils should provide sick notes when they are absent; suspension; government grants should be given to schools and pupils; stricter punishment; schools should install more computers; improve library facilities and organize a PTA (Parent Teacher Association); expulsion; donations by the rich should be given to schools; extra staff should be appointed; the school administration should set up tutorials.

Model 1:

• If students were asked to provide sick notes when absent, then this would stop them from skipping school. Stricter punishment would be a positive step too. Also the organization of a PTA would help because parents would be personally and immediately informed and some actions could be taken by them.

Model 2:

• The problem of large class sizes could be solved by appointing extra staff. If this was done, there would be smaller groups and students would receive individual attention. If a class is large, it means that there are too many pupils in it and they don’t receive enough individual attention from their teacher.
