I had a text read out on RTÉ's Drivetime programme just before six o'clock this evening in relation to class size.
For some reason my name wasn't mentioned, but you can hear it here by going to 1.25.55 in the programme.
Mary Wilson:
"This from a newly-qualified primary teacher who says he's in a great school with a brilliant staff but his first ever class has 32 pupils. The school has to work extra hard to fundraise for necessary resources and technology. Surely, he says, a nonsense like this should be consignded to the past. In an economic downturn, serious investment throughout the education system is a requirement, not an option. Shame on the shortsightedness of the government."
