GVSD Class Sizes
Earlier this year, Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning introduced the Smaller Class Sizes Initiative, focusing on reducing class sizes for our youngest learners. For the 2024/25 school year, $3 million has been allocated to this initiative, ensuring that more K-3 students receive enhanced support from classroom educators.
Starting in the 2024/25 school year, school divisions are required to report on class sizes in Grades K-8, and to post the results on their division’s website for public viewing.
For schools with average class sizes that are over 20 for Grades K-3, and over 25 for Grades 4-8, divisions must include details on any additional supports being provided to those classes (i.e. additional educational assistants, rotational / specialized teachers, etc.).
We anticipate this initiative leading to enhanced in-class interactions between students and educators.
