Student-Teacher Ratio, Secondary” is an indicator that represents the average number of students per teacher in secondary education, covering both lower and upper secondary levels. This ratio provides insights into the learning environment quality, as smaller class sizes often allow for more tailored instruction, increased student engagement, and greater teacher support.

A lower student-teacher ratio at the secondary level is typically associated with improved academic performance, as teachers can dedicate more attention to individual students’ needs, facilitate interactive discussions, and manage classrooms more effectively. Education policymakers monitor this ratio to make informed decisions on resource allocation, hiring, and policy adjustments to optimize learning outcomes and ensure that students receive adequate support as they progress through critical stages of their educational journey.
