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, Carlswald House Preparatory School had 20 teachers but in 2022, 3 teachers left the school, and in 2023, no change in teachers population at the school.

A drop in teachers over three years can signal unhappiness, lack of support, or better opportunities elsewhere. This can lead to bigger classes and more work for remaining teachers, affecting education quality and school spirit. The school needs to address these issues to retain and attract great teachers.

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

If both enrollments and the number of teachers are declining, the school may be facing significant challenges.

The school’s teacher to learner ration is 1:15 meaning that, One teacher is responsible for 15 learners.

Carlswald House Preparatory School Pass Rate

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.
