A caller from Madhya Pradesh says Govt here has a rule of student teacher ratio of 30 to 1. Normally in primary schools in rural area there are 30 to 50 students, so according to rule Govt appoints 2 teachers. But one teacher generally is always busy with some other Govt work so one teacher ends up teaching all the 5 classes. This rule should change and there should be teachers equivalent to number of classes in a school. For more the caller can be reached at 07566398330
