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, Alpha Study Centre had 4 teachers but in 2022, there was no teacher who left or joined the school, and in 2023, no change in teachers population at the school. A stable number of teachers over three years indicates consistency and stability within the school. It suggests that the school is maintaining a steady enrolment, providing a supportive work environment, and successfully retaining its staff. This stability can contribute to a positive learning environment, with experienced teachers who are familiar with the schoolÕs culture and curriculum, leading to consistent and reliable education for students.But Alpha Study Centre is a special case because it has increasing enrollment, and at the same time stable teaching staff. What does this mean to potential parents?If enrollments are increasing while the number of teachers is stable, this could lead to overcrowded classrooms. The school’s teacher to learner ration is 1:22 meaning that, One teacher is responsible for 22 learners.
