Pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) is one of the key measurements of quality education. This article presents the pupil-teacher ratio for 133 public primary schools in a local government area (LGA) of Ogun State, Nigeria. The data were obtained from a complete enumeration of the records of each school. It was discovered that the average PTR obtained from the data analysis is higher than the national average. Using PTR equals 35 as a benchmark of Nigeria, only 25 (19%) schools out of the 133 schools considered have an acceptable PTR (below 35), 52 (39%) schools have a moderate PTR (between 35 and 50) and 56 (42%) schools have unacceptable and high PTR (above 50). This article shows that there is high pupil-teacher ratio in the country’s public primary schools. This research will be helpful in the following; educational evaluation and assessment, audit and quality assurance, decision makers in the Ministry of Education in gap analysis for recruitment purposes, assessing the level of implementation of policies on education and monitoring of the progress made in attaining development sustainable goals (SDG) as it relates to access to quality education.

Background Post-sexual-based violence (SBV) services are imperative when it comes to attenuating SBV-induced consequences. These services are reportedly rare, and often underutilized, most especially by young women in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators in accessing post-SBV services among young women (18–24 years) attending higher education institutions in Nigeria. Methods An online survey using a pre-tested and validated questionnaire was administered to a purposive sample of 114 respondents between the 8th and 22nd March 2022. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the study findings. Results The majority (71.1%) of the respondents were between the ages of 21–24 years, and 8.5% of the respondents reported the nature of their first intercourse was not consensual. Half of the respondents (50.9%) strongly agreed that a post-SBV health service should be the first place to go following an incident of rape, but over half of the respondents (53.2%) reported a lack of awareness of existing SBV health services as a barrier that impacts young women’s access to these services. Also, less than half the respondents strongly agreed that healthcare workers can provide the highlighted post-SBV services in the study including emergency contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and Post Exposure Prophylaxis to prevent HIV (39.6% and 42.9% respondents respectively), showing awareness gaps. Other key barriers reported include stigma or shame, and lack of support systems. Key facilitators included an assurance of confidentiality and access to free Post-SBV health services. Conclusion Important barriers and facilitators impact access to post-SBV-health services in Nigeria, especially among young women. Multilevel efforts by families, civil society organizations, communities, and governments will help address these barriers and facilitate access to SBV health services.
