Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I cannot help but agree with the Member's comments about the need for smaller classes. Currently the pupil/teacher ratio is at 18 to 1. It is too high. Is there any other sort of mandatory requirement that it is supposed to adhere to, I cannot really say. If there is, I am not aware of it. I can tell you what it is and what it was over the last five years and it has gone steadily upward. I think the intent is to keep it as low as possible. I am hoping that from here on in it is only going to go down. Thank you.
