Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce has announced class sizes in September will remain effectively the same as last year.
The government has made very modest changes to the classroom numbers.
There will be no changes to class sizes for students in kindergarten to Grade 3, while one additional student will be added per class in Grades 4 to 8.
High school class sizes will average 22.5 students. The government was initially looking at increasing those classrooms to as many as 28 students
The move comes as contracts for Secondary teachers are set to expire on August 31.
Lecce says from day one, he made it clear that he was intent on listening to and working with, their education partners.
