Willie Penrose
Ceist:285. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will pursue all possible avenues to avoid increasing the pupil-teacher ratio in primary schools in budget 2014 due to, for example, the fact that such a mooted change would see a six teacher school reduced to a five teacher school with teachers shared between eight classes, meaning class sizes increasing from the mid-20s to an average of 31 or 32 children per classroom, which would have a significant impact on such students; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
