At the primary level, except for Western Asia (78 per cent) and Southern Asia (85 per cent), most regions show higher percentages of qualified teachers compared to the pre-primary level. Furthermore, 86 per cent of primary teachers worldwide possess the minimum required qualifications.
There are large differences in educational outcomes: in low-income countries, most children cannot read by the end of primary school. These inequalities in education exacerbate poverty and existing inequalities in global incomes. On this page, you can find all of our writing and data on global education.

Percentage of teachers by level of education taught (pre-primary, primary, lower secondary and upper secondary education) who have received at least the minimum organized pedagogical teacher training pre-service and in-service required for teaching at the relevant level in a given country. Ideally the indicator should be calculated separately for p...
Teachers play a key role in ensuring the quality of education provided. Ideally all teachers should receive adequate, appropriate and relevant pedagogical training to teach at the chosen level of education and be academically well-qualified in the subject(s) they are expected to teach. This indicator measures the share of the teaching work force wh...
The number of teachers in a given level of education who are trained is expressed as a percentage of all teachers in that level of education.
A high value indicates that most students are being taught by teachers who are pedagogically well-trained to teach.
By sex, level of education and type of institution (public/private). Location is not currently collected at the global level but this could be considered in the future.
Number of teachers at each level of education who are trained and total number of teachers at each level.
Administrative data from schools and other organized learning centres.
Average number of pupils per trained teacher at each level of education (pre-primary, primary, lower and upper secondary education). A trained teacher is one who has received at least the minimum organized pedagogical teacher training pre-service and in-service required for teaching at the relevant level in a given country.
To measure trained teacher workloads and human resource allocations in educational institutions, and to give a general indication of the average amount of time and individual attention a pupil is likely to receive from trained teachers. Since well-trained teachers play a key role in ensuring the quality of education provided, the pupil/trained te...
The total number of pupils and students in the relevant level is divided by the number of trained teachers in the same level.
where: PTTRn = pupil-trained teacher ratio at level n of education
The higher the pupil/ trained teacher ratio, the lower the relative access of pupils to trained teachers. Results can be compared with established national norms on the number of pupils per trained teacher for each level of education.
By level of education and type of institution (public/private).
Number of pupils and trained teachers at each level of education.
Administrative data from schools and other organized learning centres.
The ‘ideal’ pupil/trained teacher ratios may depend on a wide variety of complex factors, including the age and academic needs of the pupils represented in the ratio (younger children or those with special educational needs typically require more time, attention, and instructional support from teachers) or the experience, skill, and effectiveness o...

Administrative data from schools and other organized learning centres.
It is important to note that national academic qualification requirements can vary from one country to the next. This variability between countries lessens the usefulness of global tracking because the indicator would only show the percent reaching national standards, not whether teachers in different countries have similar levels of academic quali...
