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, Fumana Secondary School had 75 teachers but in 2022, 17 teachers left the school, and in 2023, 12 more teachers got employed 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 Fumana Secondary School is a special case because it has increasing enrollment, and at the same time declining teaching staff. What does this mean to potential parents?

If enrollments are stable or increasing while the number of teachers is decreasing, this could signal potential issues like teacher dissatisfaction at the school or Katlehong parents community in general.

The school’s teacher to learner ration is 1:27 meaning that, One teacher is responsible for 27 learners.
