Data Notes

• Class size audits are conducted by CESE (Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation) in March each year. Audits were not conducted in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.

• Data for 2020 should be treated with caution. The collection took place in March when schools were impacted by COVID-19, so fewer data checks were carried out.

• Students attending schools for specific purposes (SSPs), students in support classes in regular schools and distance education students are excluded from average class size calculations.

• The average class size for each grade is calculated by taking the number of students in all classes that a student from that grade is in (including composite/multi age classes) divided by the total number of classes that includes a student from that grade. This can result in a lower Kindergarten to Year 6 average class size than any individual year level.

• From 2017, school size is based on primary enrolment rather than school classification.

• Schools change size, so data in Table 2 is not necessarily comparable to previous iterations in earlier fact sheets.

Data quality statement

The Class Size Audit Data Quality Statement addresses the quality of the Class Size Audit dataset using the dimensions outlined in the NSW Department of Education's data quality management framework: institutional environment, relevance, timeliness, accuracy, coherence, interpretability and accessibility. It provides an overview of the dataset's quality and highlights any known data quality issues.

Data notes

• Students attending schools for specific purposes (SSPs), students in support classes in regular schools and distance education students are excluded from average class size calculations.

• The average class size for each year level is calculated from regular and multi-age classes that contain a student from that year level. This can result in a lower K-6 average class size than any individual year level.

• From 2017, school size is based on primary enrolment rather than school classification.

• Data from earlier years is not replaced in the Class Size fact sheet. Schools change size. Historical data displays the data that was correct in that year.

• Refer to the individual class size factsheet publication for further information and policy context.

Data quality statement

The Class Size Audit Data Quality Statement addresses the quality of the Class Size Audit dataset using the dimensions outlined in the NSW Department of Education's data quality management framework: institutional environment, relevance, timeliness, accuracy, coherence, interpretability and accessibility. It provides an overview of the dataset's quality and highlights any known data quality issues.

The aim of the education statistics domain is to provide comparable statistics and indicators on key aspects of the education systems across Europe. The data cover participation and completion of education programmes by pupils and students, personnel in education and the cost and type of resources dedicated to education.

The standards on international statistics on education and training systems are set by the three international organisations jointly administering the UOE data collection:

• the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation Institute for Statistics (UNESCO-UIS),
• the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and,
• the Statistical Office of the European Union (EUROSTAT).

The results of the UOE data collection on education statistics are compiled on the basis of national administrative sources, reported by Ministries of Education or National Statistical Offices.

The following topics are covered:

• Context - School-aged population, overall participation rates in education;
• Distribution of pupils/students by level;
• Participation/enrolment in education (ISCED 0-4);
• Tertiary education participation;
• Tertiary education graduates;
• Teaching staff (ISCED 1-3);
• Pupil/students-teacher ratio and average class size (ISCED 1-3);
• Language learning (ISCED 1-3);
• Regional enrolments;
• Expenditure on education in current prices;
• Expenditure on education in constant prices;
• Expenditure on education as % of GDP or public expenditure;
• Expenditure on public and private educational institutions;
• Financial aid to students;
• Funding of education.

Other tables, used to measure progress towards the Lisbon objectives in education and training, are gathered in the Thematic indicators tables. They contain the following indicators:

• Teachers and trainers;
• Mathematics, science and technology enrolments and graduates;
• Investments in education and training;
• Participation rates in education by age and sex;
• Foreign language learning;
• Student mobility.

The United Kingdom had an average of 20 students per teacher in 2024, the highest in Europe in that year. Europe's largest country, Germany, had an average of 14 students per teacher, while Latvia had an average of just 12.11 students per teacher.

In 2023, the average secondary school class size was **** students. The average class size in a secondary school in Singapore had been decreasing since 2014.

A dataset of Government schools average Primary Schools Class Sizes, showing average for Prep to Year 2, Year 3 to Year 6 and overall all classes, from census years 2001 to 2023. The size of primary class is collected from government schools as part of the February School Census conducted on the last school day of February each year. The data is collected from all Government schools as part of the February census. The size of a class is defined as the number of students that exist in a class grouping. Where schools have varying class sizes the following definition is used: -count the class as that which exists for the majority of the time and -which includes the time spent teaching literacy and numeracy and -which the school community regards as a class grouping. Decisions on the class size profile for a school are made at the school level and take into account a number of factors such as the number of teachers available, the balance of enrolments across year levels and class room availability. Average class size is NOT the same as the student/teacher ratio.
