i think when u say there is a high teacher: student ratio, there are lots of teachers for a few students

low teacher student ratio would mean it was bad wouldn't it?? so there is lots of students to one teacher?? its not very clear tbh!

If someone says there's a low teacher-student ratio, does that mean for each teacher there are only a few students (e.g. 1:5), whereas a high teacher-student ratio is the opposite (e.g. 1:30), or have I mixed them up?

No, other way round.

Also... a low student-teacher ratio is the same as a high teacher-student ratio, right?

Yes.

It is perfectly unambiguous.

Ah, cheers.

Sounds weird to me though.

1:5 would be a high ratio
1:60 would be a low ratio

Well, 1:5 teachers:students is quite a high number of teachers compared to students...
