From class I to V

  • Two teachers for up to sixty admitted children
  • Three teachers for 61-90 children

  • One headteacher, other than the five teachers, if the number of admitted children exceeds 150 and the PTR (excluding Head Teacher) shall not exceed forty if the number of admitted children is above 200.

Hence, it is concluded that for classes first to fifth, if there are between 61 to 90 students admitted in a class, then three teachers are required according to the Right to Education Act, 2009.
