Minister for Education and Skills

I propose to take Questions Nos. 544 and 545 together.

Average class size is not readily calculated on an individual school basis. Below is a link to a spreadsheet that shows the number of pupils in each mainstream class and the number of mainstream class teachers for each primary school in county order. Data refers to 2014/15 school year.http://www.education.ie/en/Publications/Statistics/Data-on-Individual-Schools/Class-Size-2014-2015.xls.
