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, Houghton Muslim Academy had 22 teachers but in 2022, 1 new teachers were employed at the school, and in 2023, 4 more teachers got employed at 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 Houghton Muslim Academy is a special case because it has increasing enrollment, and at the same time increasing teaching staff. What does this mean to potential parents?

If the number of enrollments is increasing while the number of teachers is also increasing, then the school is thriving and expanding within and beyond Houghton.

The school’s teacher to learner ration is 1:14 meaning that, One teacher is responsible for 14 learners.
