Class size statistics embarrassing for SNP

Statistics published by the Scottish Government have revealed that the average class size has increased over the last year.

They also reveal that the total number of teachers has dropped, and that the pupil to teacher ratios have also increased.

Scottish Conservative Education Spokesperson, Liz Smith MSP said:

"This is an embarrassing set of data for the SNP. They promised smaller class sizes, lower pupil to teacher ratios and that they would maintain teacher numbers across the board.

"Almost everything is going in the opposite direction to what they pledged.

"Parents in every corner of Scotland, especially those who believed the SNP manifesto in May and voted for them, have every reason to feel let down and angry."
