I've been in classes of 60 where people excelled in the class. The government isn't able to ever fix the problem because it's the parents.

Newest generations are selfish, less interested in their children and the failing kids don't get the support or preparation to learn from their family at home.

In general to be a good student in class and do at least OK, you need to be able to.

#1 Attend all classes
#2 Be prepared to sit in the chair and listen.
#3 Participate in class to the level your teacher wishes.
#4 Behave
#5 Not make fun of education and people getting good grades in your culture.
#6 Do homework
#7 Study a few hours a day.

Until parents can bring children to school that are ready to learn, the government and teachers can't educate to any meaningful level.
The teachers unions growing their jobs, power and pay are useless regarding the solution.
