The student-teacher ratio, also known as the student-teacher ratio, refers to the ratio between the number of teachers in a school and the number of students trained. This ratio can be used to measure the quality of teachers and education in schools.
The student-teacher ratio is calculated as follows:
Student-teacher ratio = (equivalent to the number of students in school) (number of full-time teachers + 1 2 * number of external teachers).Among them, the equivalent number of students refers to the total number of all students in the school, including full-time students and part-time students. The number of full-time teachers refers to the number of teachers in the school who are engaged in teaching full-time, while the number of external teachers is the number of teachers hired by the school from outside.
It should be noted that the calculation of the student-teacher ratio may vary depending on the educational stage and region, so it needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation in practice.
The reasonable range of pupil-teacher ratios varies depending on a variety of factors, such as the stage of education, the type of school, the subject area, and so on. Generally speaking, the lower the student-teacher ratio, the stronger the school's faculty and the higher the quality of teaching is likely to be. However, a low student-teacher ratio can also lead to an overburden on teachers, affecting the quality of teaching.
For different types of schools, the education department usually has different student-teacher ratio requirements. For example, for new undergraduate universities, it is generally believed that the student-teacher ratio of a university will not be higher than 18:1 is scientific and reasonable. For graduate supervisors, according to international experience, one supervisor generally supervises 2-3 graduate students at the same time. 5-6 is the upper limit of the tutor's energy and the quality of training.
The reasonable range of the student-teacher ratio should be determined on a case-by-case basis, not only to ensure sufficient teachers, but also to avoid overburdening teachers.
