‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Pupil-Teacher Ratio. Subject choice in second-level schools
Summary
O’Rourke asked whether higher pupil-teacher ratios limited subject choice, particularly for senior-level girls; the Minister said this was a different question, and O’Rourke challenged her response.
Does the Minister consider that the increase in the pupil-teacher ratio has led to a decrease in the number and choice of subjects that can be taken up, particularly in second level schools? Furthermore, does she consider that this is in direct conflict with her stated policy of allowing greater flexibility and choice of subjects particularly to girls at senior level?
Comment on this
I should like to answer that but it is a totally different question. It does not have anything to do with the question tabled.
