I refer to the Western Australian Education Department's class size limit for the years 4 -10. The current limit is 32 children per classroom - which is the highest classroom limit in the country. And I note that in Victoria the limit is 26 children per class and in Queensland it is 28, and I ask:
(a) in Western Australia, how many year 4-10 class sizes exceeded 30 students in the 2025 calendar year; and
(b) when was the last change to the Western Australian Class Size limits for years 4-10 made and what was this change?
