Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR)
PTR gives an indication of contact between pupils and caregivers in a classroom. A low PTR implies
high chances of contact between caregivers and pupils hence teachers will have enough time to check
homework and class work. Figure 4.6 below shows the pupil teacher ratio in pre­primary schools in
Uganda;
