„Reducing teachers’ workload by increasing the role of teaching assistants in education has many advantages. First, assistants can be drawn from a different pool of potential workers. These assistants might not be qualified to be teachers, but they could carry out some of teachers’ tasks at a similar level of quality. Teaching assistants can prepare classrooms (e.g. organising materials and supplies), supervise pupils during non-instructional periods, help to grade homework assignments and tests, help to prepare learning materials, provide tutoring in smaller groups, or supervise computer-assisted learning (CAL) sessions.“
