Preferred term

student teacher ratio  

Definition

  • Student/teacher ratio refers to the number of enrolled students in a school, program, or institute of higher education relative to the number of formally defined educators on staff. (At the postsecondary level, this ratio may also be referred to as student/faculty ratio.) For example, a school that has a student/teacher ratio of 20:1 has a head count of 20 students for each one teacher, although this ratio may not reflect typical class sizes.
