Vol. 502 No. 3

Written Answers. - Pupil-Teacher Ratio.

Ceist:

650 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of national school teachers in the Tallaght area in each of the past ten years; the number of pupils studying at schools in this area during the period; the plans, if any, he has to reduce the pupil-teacher ratio in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8304/99]

I attach for the Deputy's information the detail he has requested which is drawn from the annual census of primary schools. Data for the 1998-99 school year is currently being processed in my Department and is therefore unavailable as yet.

The Deputy will be aware from my recent announcement in relation to major improvements in primary school classes that a total of almost 400 new teachers will be appointed at primary level this year. From September next all primary schools will operate to a maximum class average of 30 pupils. A new staffing schedule, which will be issued to schools in the near future, is weighted towards improving the position of schools which currently have the largest average class size.

I would expect that schools in the Tallaght area will be able to dramatically reduce the number of large classes as a result of these improvements, and I am committed to further reducing class sizes generally in the next number of years.
