The document discusses multigrade and ladderized education systems. Multigrade education involves teaching multiple grade levels in one classroom, typically in rural areas with low student populations. It allows for efficient education delivery but places high demands on teachers. Ladderized education allows learners to progress flexibly between technical/vocational and college programs, opening opportunities for career and educational advancement while reducing wasteful duplication.

grade levels in one classroom.
It is generally opened in primary schools
located in distant and sparsely populated
area.

4. Multigrade
“Combination class”
The well-trained and locally-oriented

other facilities

6. Multigrade
Advantages:

well trained.
Demands on teachers’ time and
organizational capabilities are high

9. Multigrade
Disadvantages:
Students may receive less individual
attention and must often work
independently

11. LADDERIZED

12. Ladderized
It allows learners to progress between
Technical Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) and College, and vice-
versa.
It opens opportunities for career and
educational advancement to students and
workers.

13. Ladderized
Advantages:
It is the answer for the wasteful
duplication
Opportunities for career and educational
