In different countries,classrooms are arranged differently. 

   In the US,classrooms usually have many single desks for each student. Most of the time,they all face the whiteboard in the front of the classroom.

   In the UK,most classrooms are similar. There are usually no more than 30 students in every class. Most of the students are required to wear school uniform. Usually,two children share a long desk. There is enough space among the desks so that teachers can walk around.
