Standards regarding student teacher ratio

Standards regarding student teacher ratio as per National Early Childhood Care and Education Policy approved by Ministry of Women and Child Development:

(http://wcd.nic.in/schemes/ECCE/National%20ECCE%20Policy%20draft%20(1).pdf)

For children under 3years - 1:10

For 3-6 year old children - 1:20

Norms and standards regarding student teacher ratio under RTE Act, 2009

(http://rvm.ap.nic.in/RTEACT.pdf):

1st to 5th class:

Up to 60 children - Two teachers

Between 61-90 - Three teachers

Between 91-120 Four teachers

Between 121-200 Five teachers

Above 150 Five teachers plus one head teacher

Above 200 PTR (excluding head teacher) not exceeding Forty

Dear parents,

Are these standards being followed in majority of schools?

In case, the decision to increase the seats is taken by Supreme court (2nd May 2014), will not the increase in the number of seats adversely affect the schools? The DOE will come with new notification, wherein they will mention the increment in the student teacher ratio. Those schools which are not following the standards will become bound by the new notification. Is this the real reason behind schools not supporting the increase in student teacher ratio to accomodate the IST candidates? Is the increase in student teacher ratio (1 or 2) actually turning out to be a decrease in student teacher ratio by 15 to 20?

An eye-opener...

I hope from this session we will get some help from admissionsnursery.com.

Actual figures of student-teacher ratio are easily visible & can't be concealed. Single visit to any school by investigating team from DOE will eeasily proove the facts & discrepencies.

If pursued with consistency, at-least this aspect of education can be improved.

For me, this one aspect is the most important amongst all other aspects.

Kindly take-up this issue if the importance of this issue is worth highlighting.

School just want to earn money and done follow the guidelines ( except few ones )

Comment by KAMAL BATRA on May 1, 2014 at 1:25pm: Sakshi-ji,

The school representatives have claimed that the standard student teacher ratio is 40:1.

What is the truth in this?

Nursery: More seats is not a viable option, say schools

The Statesman:

The school representatives also said that the standard student teacher ratio is 40:1)

Comment by KAMAL BATRA on April 30, 2014 at 3:39pm: Those parents who have approached DOE against the flouting of norms by schools, please share your experience...

How is the response of the grievance cell?
