Скачать или смотреть 1 lakh schools in India that have Single Teacher

Over one lakh schools in India are being run by just a single teacher, catering to more than 33 lakh students, according to new data from the Ministry of Education for the academic year 2024–25.

To put that into perspective, each school has, on average, about 34 students being taught, guided, and managed by one person. That teacher handles every subject, every grade, every record, and every responsibility.

Andhra Pradesh has recorded the highest number of single-teacher schools, followed by Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Lakshadweep.
In terms of student enrolment, Uttar Pradesh leads, with over six lakh students studying in single-teacher schools, followed by Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh.

While the total number of such schools has seen a small decline in recent years, the issue remains serious. Officials say steps are being taken to merge under-enrolled schools, redistribute teachers from inactive ones, and ensure optimal use of infrastructure.

However, this statistic sheds light on a deeper concern in India’s education system the uneven distribution of teachers and resources, especially in rural and remote regions.
