Por qué estos 20

World Bank indicator SE.PRM.TCHR (from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics): people employed full or part time to teach primary classes, in public and private schools. It is a head count, not full-time equivalents, and mostly follows population size; teachers per pupil would tell more about class sizes.
