Pupil Teacher Ratio, Primary By Country

This chart shows the ratio of pupil - teacher in primary school by country. 

Pupil-teacher ratio is calculated by the number of pupils enrolled in primary school divided by the number of primary school teachers. 

A primary school or elementary school is a school in which children receive primary or elementary education from the ages of about five to eleven, coming before secondary school and after preschool. It is the first stage of compulsory education in most parts of the world, and is normally available without charge, but may be offered in a fee-paying independent school.
