No maximum school class size, says minister

The Island's education minister says there's no maximum or minimum class sizes in Manx schools.

Daphne Caine MHK faced a question for written reply from Onchan MHK Julie Edge about the numbers.

In her response, Mrs Caine said her department operates a system allowing children to go to school in their local area, but doesn't restrict class sizes.

And she added a proposed amendment to the Island's Education Act would control how big year groups could be in the Island's schools in future.
