63. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education if he will state the number of teachers that would be required in Wales to reduce the size of classes to the statutory limits in primary and secondary schools, respectively, by 1965.

A total of approximately 21,000 teachers would be needed if classes are not to exceed the statutory limits—about 10,000 for senior classes and 11,000 for juniors.
