Method & notes
District-level ratios help expose capacity differences, but they are not direct measures of class size or teaching quality.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSDistrict-level administrative ratio, not class size.
PulseKita joins MOE district-level primary and secondary enrolment to teacher counts for the same year, then divides students by teachers.
- This is an administrative ratio, not average class size.
- High or low ratios can reflect school size, geography, specialist staffing and district structure.
- The ranking should not be interpreted as a school-quality league table.
