A teacher is a person whose professional activity involves planning, organizing, and conducting group activities
to develop student's knowledge, skills, and attitudes as stipulated by educational programs. Teachers may work
with students as a whole class, in small groups or one-to-one, inside or outside regular classrooms. In this
indicator, teachers are compared by their average age and work experience measured in years.
For the same in 2015, the following distribution of ages (in years) of primary school teachers in a district was
collected to evaluate the teacher on the above-mentioned criterion.

A Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating upright
wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs,
capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright,
usually by gravity.
