Case Study Based Questions

I. Student-Teacher Ratio: Student-teacher ratio expresses the relationship between the number of students enrolled in
a school and the number of teachers in that school. It is important for a number of reasons. For example, it can be an
indicator of the amount of individual attention any child is likely to receive, keeping in mind that not all class size are
going to be the same.
The following distribution gives the state-wise student-teacher ratio in higher secondary schools of India (28 states and
7 UTs only).
Number of students Number of States/ Number of students Number of States/
