HC Deb 17 June 1992 vol 209 c541W
Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is his assessment of the maximum size of class in which the national curriculum can be satisfactorily delivered.

Mr. Forth

It is for schools to determine the appropriate size of teaching groups for different subjects in the light of their individual circumstances. The most important thing, however, is the quality of the teaching which pupils receive.
