[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Student Teacher ratio is the number of students who attend a school divided by the number of teachers<\/strong> in the institution. A student teacher ratio of 20:1 indicates that there are only 20 students for every one teacher.<\/p>\n

So decidedly, the lower this ratio, the better the quality<\/strong> of education.<\/p>\n

One can pretty much guarantee that a single teacher will do a much better job of giving personal attention to 20 kids, than, let\u2019s say a hundred.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, India’s student teacher ratio is one of the lowest among other developing countries, according to a government report<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. We lag behind Brazil, China and every North American and European nation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does student teacher ratio affect education?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many factors come into play in determining the quality of your child’s education, but one thing that many schools overlook is the student teacher ratio.<\/p>\n

A high student teacher ratio results in overburdening a small group of teachers<\/strong>. It also adversely affects the quality of responsibilities taken up by them.<\/p>\n

It divides the attention of the teacher<\/strong>. Consequently, it affects the personal attention that each student gets. Apart from this simplistic effect, in any institution of learning, a smaller number of overburdened teachers will always find it challenging to encourage their students to keep a learning mindset.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Personal Attention Ensures Quality Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Less the students, more is the attention<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Observation and attention are two of the most important aspects of teaching. When a teacher has fewer students to attend, minute details can be quickly picked up on. As a result, the students have higher success rates.<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have shown that lower student teacher ratios are better for teaching students fundamental subjects such as Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, than those with a higher ratio of students to teachers. Understandably, the schools with lower student teacher ratios are more exclusive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Student Teacher ratios in the west<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Over the past few decades, the structure of education systems around the Western world has changed dramatically. There\u2019s been a great deal of reform in school initiatives and educational strategies.<\/p>\n

In countries like the United States of America and Sweden, there has been a push toward decreasing student teacher ratios<\/strong> across the board in the hopes of improving the academic performance of school-age children. European countries in particular, have taken the fastest strides towards improving their teaching methods.<\/p>\n

For instance, almost every adult in the European countries like Poland, Iceland, Luxembourg is literate, as the countries have more than 99.8% literacy rate<\/strong>. What do all these countries primary schools have in common?<\/p>\n

There student teacher ratio stands at an incredible 10:1<\/strong>, whereas most Indian primary schools have a ratio of 40:1<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

These countries thus has a very well developed education system, and one wherein every child in primary school receives proper attention and encouragement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Right from the beginning, the founding members of our school had decided to keep class sizes small<\/strong>. They knew how a warm and cozy environment helps stimulate a child\u2019s desire to learn.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been carrying forward this vision since July 23, 1983. For more than 26 years, we have not wavered from that commitment.<\/p>\n

Hence, even today, we have more than 90 well-trained teachers<\/strong> to take care of our 1750 students<\/strong>. That\u2019s a student teacher ratio of less than 20:1<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
