What effect can population growth have on the education sector?

Correct answer: Demand for schools and teachers may increase

Direct answer: A, population growth may increase the demand for schools and teachers. When the number of people rises, the number of children and school-age learners may also rise, although the exact change depends on the age structure of the population. More learners require adequate classrooms, teachers, books, sanitation and other educational facilities. This creates a planning responsibility for government and communities. Option A is correct because it describes a realistic pressure that a growing population can place on education. Option B is wrong because more children do not remove the need for schools; they usually make planning more important. Option C is wrong because population growth does not break the relationship between education and geography. Option D is wrong because growth does not make students disappear. Memory cue: more people often mean more public services to plan, including education; growth creates demand, not automatic supply.
