It is not too clear "current" means 2014 or 2015. Will assume baseline year to be 2015 when 20 more schools are built.
Number of students in 2015=1200
Number of students in 2016=1200*1.2=1440
Teacher:student ratio in 2015=1:60
Number of teachers in 2015=1200/60=20
Teacher:student ratio in 2016=1:30
Number of teachers in 2016=1440/30=48
Number of additional teachers required
= 48-20
=28
The government intends to build 20 more schools in a bid to fulfill education for all, millennium development goal by 2015. This would steadily host 20 percent growth of enrollment rate by 2016. The current strength of teacher-pupil ratio is 1:60; and the number of enrollment is 1200 pupils per annual. The normal teacher pupil ratio for must be 1:30. Adjust and calculate more or less numbers of teachers required by 2016.
