      | Patna, (Bihar Times): Bihar has been maintaining large
        number of students in   each class for primary division
        for the last several years. The   student-classroom
        ratio was 90 in 2004-05, 92 in 2005-06, and 91   in
        2006-07. This is not very ideal as teachers are unable
        to pay   attention. The student-classroom ratio in
        Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh is also   high in this
        period.

 According to report published by the Educational
    Management Information   System (EMIS) Delhi has, on an
    average, 30 students in each class for   primary
    sections.
 The report is based on the data provided by   the
    district schools and provides an insight into the
    standard of primary   education in India. It shows that
    states with less population have less   number of
    students in each class for primary sections.
 
 Thus the north   eastern states have registered less
    numbers of students in primary division.   Further, the
    ratio has been declining significantly in Sikkim for
    the last   three years. The situation in Mizoram and
    Manipur is similar. The study has   been compiled by
    National University of Educational Planning   and
    Administration (NUEPA) and it shows that there were on
    an average 30   students in each class in 2004-05, 41 in
    2005-06 and 30 in 2006-07 all over   the country.
