Pupil-Teacher Ratio

HC Deb 02 April 1974 vol 871 c307W

Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what was the pupil-teacher ratio in primary schools

PUPIL-TEACHER RATIOS IN MAINTAINED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
				Leicestershire	England
				Primary	Secondary	Primary	Secondary
January 1970	…	…	…	28.3	18.7	27.5	17.7
January 1973	…	…	…	26.2	17.3	25.5	17.1

Note: The figures for 1970 are based on all teaching staff; those for 1973 are based on qualified teachers only. The improvement was thus greater than the figures imply.
