Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2022
271. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Education the current average pupil-teacher ratio for mainstream classes in post-primary schools, not including special educational needs classes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46431/22]
View answerThe pupil-teacher ratio in post-primary schools in 2021/2022, the most recent year for which we have data, was 12.2. There is currently no means of identifying post-primary pupils in special classes on the Post-Primary Online Database, and therefore the stated pupil-teacher ratio includes all pupils and teachers at post-primary level.
