In a recent discussion, expert Agi Csonka expressed skepticism about the proposal to limit class sizes in Danish public schools to 14 students. While the idea may sound appealing and evokes a sense of comfort and security for parents and educators, Csonka believes that it might create more problems than it solves. The expert argues that the proposal, though well-intentioned, fails to address the fundamental challenges currently faced by the education system.

Csonka highlights that such a reduction in class size would indeed be refreshing and could stir debate about improving the public school system. The notion that smaller classes lead to better education is intuitive; however, Csonka stresses the importance of identifying and tackling the root causes of issues in schools, which might be related to resources, teaching quality, or curriculum rather than just the number of students per class.

Ultimately, while the idea of having only 14 students in a classroom is appealing, Csonka warns that education reforms should be more holistic. Simply changing class sizes may not yield the desired improvements in educational outcomes if deeper systemic problems are not addressed adequately.
