Inspiration Explosion: Infographic: Primary School Drop-Out Rates and Pupils Per Teacher

I worked on a project where I had to find the story within a large set of numbers. Primary school is an important time in a child’s life. But, in some countries, too many students per teacher in primary schools is leading to higher drop out rates. In 2005 - 2008, a primary education study from the Human Development Report 2010 indicates that the higher the number of pupils per teacher, the higher the dropout rate. In the country of Chad, there is an astonishing ratio of 176.2 students per teacher in primary grades. Not surprisingly, Chad also represents a dropout rate of over 70% in primary school grades.
