1117. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Education and Youth the average class size, by county and by primary and post primary school in each of the past five years. [60009/26]

The requested data on class sizes in primary schools is attached. In post-primary schools, pupil enrolments vary by subject and so the concept of average class size does not apply. Furthermore, enrolments of pupils per subject is available at school level only so average class size per subject is not available.

The data supplied is collated from the 2021/22 to 2025/26 Primary Class Size tables published on my Department’s website and can be found at this link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/class-size-information-at-individual-primary-school-level/.
