Data on the pupil-teacher ratio for all primary and post-primary schools is published regularly, and the figures for 2017-2021 are attached to this response.  It should be noted that the pupil-teacher ratio for 2021 is preliminary, as the academic year is not complete, but will be finalised later in the year.

However, data on the pupil-teacher ratio for particular school characteristics, such as county of school, is not currently available. The department is working on developing these statistics and will revert to the deputy with the results as soon as they are available.
