Reducing class sizes allows teachers to spend more one-on-one time with the students who need it.

Those year groups have the highest student to teacher ratio.

Rotorua Intermediate Principal Garry de Thierry says that not all students are the same, and that teachers need more time to appropriately address their needs.
