Overview

• The draft law was presented to teachers' unions in the second formal meeting on the teaching-career reform.
• Maximum class sizes would be fixed nationally at 22 pupils in Primary and 25 in compulsory secondary education.
• Students with special educational needs would count as two places when calculating group ratios to guarantee inclusion.
• The text also sets binding lective-hour limits for teachers: up to 23 hours in infant, primary and special education, and 18 hours in the rest of non-university stages.
• Autonomous communities would be required to provide the staffing and materials needed to meet the new ratios, with current national caps at 25 in Primary and 30 in ESO and varied regional practices.
