In primary education, class size continues to decrease in the school year 2020

Résumé

At the start of the 2020 school year, the size of primary school classes continues to decrease, whether in public or government-dependent private schools, and whether in pre-primary or primary classes. This trend has been particularly marked since 2017 in public schools, 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 levels. Nor have they been achieved at the expense of rural or urban schools outside priority education, whose class sizes are also decreasing. X At the start of the 2020 school year, preprimary classes in public schools have an average of 23.0 pupils, and primary classes (grades 1 to 5) have an average of 21.5 pupils Ì figure 1. In government-dependent private schools, these classes are larger, with 24.9 and 24.6 pupils on average. Private sector class size increased sharply between 2013 and 2016, before stabilizing until 2018, and then decreasing.
