At the start of the 2021 school year, the size of primary school classes continues to decrease in public schools, whether in pre-primary or primary classes. This trend has been particularly marked since 2017, following the implementation of the class size reduction policy in priority education.
These measures, which first concerned the first and second grades, and since September 2020 the last grade of pre-primary sections, have not taken away resources from the other grades. Nor have they been achieved at the expense of rural or urban schools outside priority education, whose class sizes are also decreasing.
In addition, the cap of 24 pupils per class in the last grade of pre-primary, first and second grade throughout the territory, which began in 2020, is also helping to reduce class sizes.
