Will the Minister reduce the size of all primary school classes progressively in 2015 to 2016? Does she accept that overcrowded classes are not good for children, education, teachers or generally for broader society? In a recent survey of teachers' stress and workload, 90% of teachers said that teaching has become more stressful, demanding, challenging and hectic. This is directly linked to the size of primary school classes in 2015.
