Everybody understands the importance of the small rural schools. As the Deputy is aware, it is evident that the population has decreased in many rural areas and it is very difficult to get planning permission. Family sizes have changed and as a consequence projected pupil numbers have changed also. The Government is very conscious of that and there was no change in the pupil-teacher ratio.
