The “Student-Teacher Ratio, Pre-primary” is an indicator that shows the average number of students per teacher in pre-primary or early childhood education settings, such as kindergartens or preschools. This ratio is an important measure of the quality of early education, as lower student-teacher ratios generally allow for more individualized attention, better supervision, and a more supportive learning environment for young children.

In early childhood education, where young learners require a lot of interaction and guidance, a lower ratio is often linked to better developmental outcomes, including cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Policymakers and educators use this ratio to evaluate resource allocation in early education and to make improvements that can enhance educational quality and outcomes during this foundational stage of learning.
