Male teachers - an endangered species
Sep 27, 2017
New research suggest there will be no male primary teachers in government schools by 2054 and none in any schools by 2067. The decline in secondary schools is also dramatic.
It's so important for children to see teachers as reflective of society, not just the female side. Maybe it's time for affirmative action, taking lessons from similar programs for women in other careers, not to mention looking at the status, salary and benefits that should accrue to such a critical profession.
Anecdotally, at SFS, we rarely have male teachers making bookings or enquiries, maybe 1 in 200 will be male!
