<h1>Tripura's Tribal Council Manages Schools with Uneven Teacher Distribution Despite Overall Favorable Ratios</h1> The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) operates 1,387 primary schools with 30,273 students and 3,504 teachers, but 302 of these are single-teacher schools. Despite a favorable 9:1 student-teacher ratio overall, the Chief Minister acknowledged the need for better teacher distribution. The state has deputed 709 additional teachers and allocated Rs 1.20 crore for school repairs in 2024-25. Low birth rates and competition from English-medium schools contribute to declining enrollment. The dropout rate has improved from 0.90% to 0.5% at primary level and 27.10% to 10.4% at secondary level since 2017-18.
