    1. Describe Multi-grade classes.

    A multigrade class / Multi-age class consists of two or more different grade levels in a
    single grade classroom manned by one teacher for an entire school year. It is often
    implemented in elementary schools located at remote and sparsely-populated localities.
    Teachers play an important role in the society.
    Multigrade teaching occurs in primary education when a teacher has two teach two or more primary
    school student grades in the same class. More general term and probably more accurate is that multigrade
    teaching refers to the teaching of students of different ages, grades and abilities in the same group. The
    multigrade class structure is known by various names in different countries; these include "composite" or
    "combination" classes, "double" classes, "split" classes, "mixed-age" classes, "vertically grouped" classes,
    "multiple classes", "family classes" or "multilevel classes". In multigrade schools a relatively small number of
    teachers try to be effective in their educational work while dealing simultaneously with a number of pupils of
    different ages, educational levels and needs. It follows that for children to learn effectively in multigrade
    environments; teachers need to be well trained, well resourced, and able to meet highly demanding teaching
    tasks and to hold positive attitudes to multigrade teaching.
