First, I want to apologize because last week I gave up a little, but I was a little busy with my exams uni boys and I had too much time to research a subject that had long wanted to try and requires a time of reflection and considerable study.

The number of students per class is a topic that has been discussed and that, from my point of view, It will continue discussing much.

On the one hand, are teachers and educators, most of which argue that the number of students should be less than actual, in many cases 31 class size, if you want to improve the academic performance of these.

But, Who is right? It has objectively verified whether the number of students actually affects the academic performance?

These are the questions I will try to answer today.
