View answerWritten answers
I propose to take Questions Nos. 295 and 296 together.
Please find attached requested data.This figure is based on mainstream classes in mainstream schools and are collated from the 2022-2023 Primary Class Size tables published on the DES website and can be found at the link below;www.gov.ie/en/collection/class-size-information-at-individual-primary-school-level/ In post-primary schools pupil enrolments vary by subject and so the concept of average class size does not apply. Furthermore enrolments of pupils per subject is available at a school level only so average class size per subject is not available.
