Local Representatives & Their Roles
Q1
The North Carolina education involves a public school system encompassing prekindergarten through to grade 12. The public school system functions in districts which are governed by school boards and superintendents from the local region. The school system encourages a good ration between learners and teachers where a teacher is assigned to every fifteen students for the public schools (Kvartiuk 1132). The rationing fosters delivery of quality education to learners since there is no pressure on the available resources. The level of administration is excellent since for every two hundred and eighty-three learners there is one administrator who is concerned on daily students’ affairs.
