Tamara Hinz saw the size of her daughter's class increase by three students. But she feels the provincial government should be putting a greater emphasis on class size as more is learned about how COVID-19 is spread. The statement did not address questions about why the Ministry of Education did not include class-size requirements in its initial guidance to school divisions. "This significant investment will ensure that our school divisions have the resources they need to respond and plan for emergent items," said Wyant. And clearly, government hasn't been willing to spend money on significantly reducing class size in order to keep students and teachers safe."
