Answer
Ní dhearna ná níor choimisiúnaigh an Roinn taighde le measúnú a dhéanamh ar thionchar ranganna cónasctha (i) ar ghnóthachtáil oideachais; agus (ii) ar leibhéil rollaithe scoile.
The Department has not undertaken nor commissioned research to assess the impact of composite classes on (i) educational attainment; and (ii) school enrolment levels. The pupil level data required to undertake such analysis are not currently held by the Department therefore no assessment of impact can be made.
