For non-fee paying post-primary schools, the pupil-teacher ratio is 19:1. In the 55 fee paying schools of the 723 post-primary schools in question, the ratio is 23:1. This figure increased from 21:1 last year. This change has a saving of approximately €2 in the first year and €6 in a full year. I am sorry - €2 million and €6 million, not €2 and €6.
