Class Size Policy Reversal


The Minister has announced that she is reversing the decision to cap the number of teachers in schools and to increase class sizes. It is a major U-turn and the Minister has said the Government decided to drop the policy after parents did not accept the change.

I want to congratulate and thank every one of you who publicly opposed this policy. It is parental response and lobbying that have been critical factors in the Government backing down.

As a profession, we now look forward to working WITH the Minister to improve student achievement and ensure quality teaching is in place across the country.
