I propose to take Questions Nos. 426 to 432, inclusive, together.
The national level pupil-teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the number of pupils by the number of teachers. Data on teachers include special education teachers and resource teachers in addition to classroom teachers.
Teachers other than classroom teachers are generally shared among a number of classes and, in some cases, between a number of schools. Therefore, the pupil-teacher ratio is applied at school level not classroom level.
The questions refer to a range of geographical areas. However, the school addresses that are stored on the primary database may not always correspond to the names of the locations of interest to the Deputy. Therefore, to ensure clarity, I ask the Deputy to please provide details of the school name and roll number of the schools to which he refers.
