REGARDING PUPIL TEACHER RATIO.

(a) and (b): The RTE Act, 2009 in its Schedule lays down Pupil-Teacher Ratio (PTR) for both
primary and upper primary schools. At primary level, the PTR norm is 30:1 and at the upper
primary level it is 35:1. As per the Unified District Information System For Education Plus
(UDISE+) 2019-20, the PTR at national level for all schools and for Government schools at
different levels is given below.

Schools

The actual deployment of the teachers school-wise comes under the purview of respective
State/UT Governments.

The details of PTR for all schools and for Government schools in particular, State/UT-wise, is at
Annexure-I.

(c) to (e): Education is in the concurrent list of the Constitution. The recruitment, service
conditions and deployment of teachers come under the purview of
the respective State and Union Territory (UT) Government. The recruitment of teachers in
schools is a continuous process and the vacancies keep arising due to retirement, resignation and
additional requirements on account of enhanced students’ strength/new schools. However,
Ministry of Education requests the States and UT Governments for filling-up the vacant posts of
teachers and their rational deployment, through Review meetings and advisories from time to
time. Further, the Central Government through the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra
Shiksha, provides assistance to the States and UTs for deployment of additional teachers to
maintain appropriate Pupil Teacher Ratio as per the prescribed norms for various levels of
schooling.
