The AUT have said that “Academics overtake schoolteachers as student ratio surges”

They go on to say ….

“The ratio of students to staff in higher education is greater than that of teachers to pupils in the UK’s schools, new AUT research has this week revealed.

There are now 21 students for every academic staff member, compared with an average of 18 pupils per teacher in the UK’s schools - and the higher education ratio has been higher than the schools ratio since 2000-01. Overall, this represents an increase in the student to staff ratio of 150 per cent since the 1970s.”
