Q. School boards argue that limits on class sizes should be removed to allow more flexibility in structuring classes.
Teachers argue that class-size limits are required to maintain quality education.
In most collective agreements in B.C. between teachers and their employers, there are limits regarding class sizes that are the number of students that can be placed in each class. The public supports class limits in the collective agreement. The public is becoming more satisfied with current class sizes. The increased approval of current class sizes could be attributed to recent improvements to the collective agreement. With Kindergarten maximums set at 20, and Primary maximums set at 23, many teachers and students across B.C. are experiencing a new level of satisfaction and the public is responding favourably.
