United Kingdom
Government attacked over class sizes
Almost a quarter of all seven to 11-year-olds in England are still taught in classes of more than 30 pupils, according to latest figures published today.
Some 23% of pupils at key stage two are in classes larger than 30, whereas the figure is 11% for secondary school pupils, the statistics from the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) revealed.
The figures do however show a slight improvement in the last 12 months; in 2006, the figures were 24.3% and 11.3% respectively.
