Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 28 September 2016.
Thank you, Darren, for that question. As I said prior to the summer recess, officials and I are studying the evidence of how best we can implement such a policy, especially as we know that smaller class sizes have the potential to make the biggest difference for children who are from our most deprived backgrounds, for children whose first language is not Welsh or English, and where we know that that will allow a change in teaching styles. I hope to make further announcements following the publication of the Welsh Government’s budget.
