In Assam, a significant issue has surfaced regarding the pupil-teacher ratio, with 7,948 schools falling short of the ideal ratio. This means many classrooms are overburdened, complicating educational quality and student learning experiences. Education Minister Ranoj Pegu highlighted the presence of 2,670 single-teacher government primary schools, underscoring the severe teacher shortage.
