The Principal of New Zealand\'s largest primary school says the Government\'s announcement on class sizes is ludicrous.

\\n

Years 4 to 8 students will have one less classmate, with the teacher student ratio dropping to one teacher to 28 students by 2025.

Shirley Maihi of Manurewa\'s Finlayson Park School told Tim Dower it\'s not going to effect any change at all.

\\n

She says it needed to be a bigger step, as bringing it down by one student in two years isn\'t going to help children\'s learning.
