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, Taalnet Glen Austin had 13 teachers but in 2022, 5 new teachers were employed at the school, and in 2023, 18 more teachers sadly left 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 Taalnet Glen Austin 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.

We currently do not have enough data to confirm teacher to learners ratio.
