Schools are now teaching AI. Yet they still run on broken old software and are drowning in paperwork.

Teaching AI, working through paperwork A teacher explains text prediction to three children. A separate wall divides the classroom from a clerk working through registers. Rain falls outside the windows and two plants sway gently. Everyone stands on a lightly drawn tiled floor.

About these numbers

National figures from the Ministry of Education’s UDISE+ 2024–25 report, covering pre-primary to higher secondary schools.

Reported national totals, 2024–25
Student enrolments24,69,32,680
Teachers1,01,22,420
Non-teaching staff7,19,247

Dividing the teacher total by the non-teaching staff total gives about 14.07 teachers per non-teaching staff member, rounded here to 1:14.

Enrolment counts registered students. Non-teaching staff is the report’s broad category. The ratio describes the national totals; individual schools differ.

See Table 1, page 28 for enrolments and teachers, and Table 4.20, page 83 for non-teaching staff. These are the 2024–25 figures; a newer 2025–26 report is available.
