Question:

117. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Education and Skills the average student teacher ratio at post-primary level in DEIS schools. [46750/19]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

The Pupil-Teacher Ratio at post primary level, excluding vocational schools managed by Education and Training Boards, for DEIS schools for 2018/19 is 10.5.

This ratio only includes secondary and community & comprehensive schools as we do not have the number of teaching posts by individual vocational schools.
