class size
Pupils per teacher
Class size is the number of students in a classroom or assigned to a single teacher.
Educational debates often center on whether smaller class sizes improve learning outcomes: The district reduced class size to eighteen students per teacher.
Class size differs from student-teacher ratio, which averages across an entire school or system.
