At the county level, the number of pupils in primary and lower secondary schools per teacher in these establishments range from less than 9 to almost 14 (see Map 4.4). The importance of urbanisation is clear in this case - in cities and counties with a greater percentage of the urban population, the number of pupils per teacher is larger (the correlation coefficient of 0.72). This means that in larger cities, classrooms are usually bigger than in smaller cities and rural areas, but this does not prevent the former from achieving better results.
