Teacher Retention & Ratio

School enrolment is undoubtedly important, but what is even more critical is a school’s ability to retain its teachers for the longest time possible. When teachers remain with a school, they become deeply integrated into the school’s culture and the parent community, leading to a solid learning environment.

By the year 2021, Agape Primary School had 24 teachers but in 2022, 4 new teachers were employed at the school, and in 2023, 5 more teachers sadly left the school.

An increasing number of teachers over three years suggests a positive trend for the school. It could mean that the school is growing, with more students enrolling, and that it’s an attractive place to work, offering good support and job satisfaction. This growth can lead to smaller class sizes, more individualized attention for students, and a vibrant, supportive school environment.

But Agape Primary School is a special case because it has declining enrollment, and at the same time increasing teaching staff. What does this mean to potential parents?

If enrollments are declining while the number of teachers is increasing, the school may be trying to enhance support despite fewer students.

The school’s teacher to learner ration is 1:17 meaning that, One teacher is responsible for 17 learners.

Much like Minister Siviwe Gwarube emphasised on the crucial need to enhance literacy and numeracy skills, the principal is dedicated to ensuring that from Grade 4 students can read for meaning. This foundational skill is essential as it provides every learner with a fair chance to excel all the way up to Grade 12 and beyond.
