Information about pupil/teacher ratios in education authority primary and secondary schools derived from the September 1980 school census is not yet available. Figures showing the position at September 1979 are contained in Scottish Education Department statistical bulletin No. 1/B1/1980 of January 1980, a copy of which is available in the Library.
