HC Deb 03 July 1979 vol 969 cc524-5W
42. Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what he expects will be the average class size in primary and secondary schools, respectively, in 1979 and 1980.

Dr. Boyson

As the sizes of classes in primary and secondary schools are substantially matters of deployment of teachers within schools, my Department does not make estimates of future average class sizes. Information on class sizes in 1979 will be available in the autumn.
