Answer: To compare the level of support for the new after-school club between teachers and students, we can calculate the percentage of individuals in each group that responded "yes" to the proposal.

For teachers: 13 out of 20 is equivalent to 13/20 = 0.65 or 65%

For students: 37 out of 50 is equivalent to 37/50 = 0.74 or 74%

Based on the percentage of individuals in each group that responded "yes," we can see that students are more in favor of the new after-school club than teachers. 74% of students responded "yes" to the proposal, while only 65% of teachers responded "yes."

It's worth mentioning that it's important to keep in mind that this comparison is based on the sample size of teachers and students that responded to the survey and not the whole population, also if the sample size isn't representative of the population and not randomly selected it can't be generalized.
