Economic Survey 2018: Student Classroom Ratio (SCR) and Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) of the government-run schools have witnessed ‘significant progress’, the Economic Survey said today. Besides, Gender Parity Index (GPI) has also improved “substantially” at primary and secondary levels by increasing enrolment of girls, although in higher education, gender disparities still prevail. India has also improved quantitative indicators such as enrolment levels, completion rates and other physical infrastructure which includes construction of school buildings/class rooms, drinking water facilities, toilet facilities and appointment of teachers at elementary school level. SCR is defined as average number of pupils per classroom in a school in a given school-year and the ideal size is 30 students per classroom. “At all-India level, percentage of schools with SCR greater than 30 students declined from 43 per cent in 2009-10 to 25.7 per cent in 2015-16,” said the Economic Survey 2017-18 tabled in Parliament today.

The Economic Survey 2018 further said there is a need to assess whether higher number of schools having PTR above 30 in four states, including Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh, are owing to the shortage of teachers or deployment issues of teachers.
