The Government of Alberta took a major step to address class sizes in schools on Friday.

Class sizes were one of the key issues raised by Alberta teachers during the strike last month, and it appears the province took note.

Today, they announced their new Class Size and Complexity Cabinet Committee, which will address challenges in the classroom.

The committee, the government says, will help form government policy and deploy resources to deal with class sizes and classroom complexity.
