Secondary school teachers call for 20 pupils per class
The Government came under fire at the ASTI conference for not living up to a commitment to deal with the issue of large classes, with delegates claiming that the 12-19 age group was getting a raw deal.
According to research carried out on behalf of the ASTI, two-thirds of third-year students are regularly in classes of 25 or more, with 16% in classes of at least 30.
