A recent report by The Hindu reveals that 7,948 schools in Assam are operating without meeting the ideal pupil‑teacher ratio, highlighting a significant gap in the state's educational infrastructure.
The report, published by The Hindu, indicates that nearly eight thousand schools in Assam are not meeting the recommended pupil‑teacher ratio.
The ideal ratio is set by the state education department to ensure quality learning, but many schools fall short due to insufficient teaching staff.
This shortfall raises concerns about classroom overcrowding and the quality of education students receive across the state.
Education officials have not yet released a response, but the findings underscore the need for increased recruitment and resource allocation.
