Part of the problem with class sizes has to do with priorities. One high school I'm familiar with offers all sorts of second language programs, which have very small class sizes. So even though the average might be 30 kids per class, the 5 kids taking Mandarin means a bunch of Math classes need to be at 40 kids per class. Incompetent scheduling at the school level isn't something that the provincial gov't can fix. It probably needs to be fixed by good people at the board level.
