Which districts have the highest student/teacher ratios?

15 Apr 2014 - codefornepal

For the purpose of understanding this map, student–teacher ratio is the number of students who attend schools in a district divided by the number of teachers in that district.

For example, If student-teacher ratio is 100, that means there are 100 students per teacher. Now think about it: You are a 5th grade student in a village in Nepal. There are 100 students in your class and just one teacher. Wouldn’t it be hard for you to learn anything?

The higher the student-teacher ratio, the harder it is for students to learn and get attention of teachers.

Rautahat has the highest student teacher ratio in Nepal followed by Sarlahi and Mahottari.
