One in three primary schools have no male teachers, report says
More than half of the state primary schools in Rutland do not have any male teachersAlmost one in three state funded primary schools does not have any male classroom teachers, a study suggests.
"This has an impact on the education that children receive. There is a large body of research that shows students benefit from being educated by a teacher with certain similarities to them. The report, titled Teacher Gender Diversity in England 2010-2022, used data from the School Workforce Census .Raising teachers' pay, reducing working hours and improving school leadership could help boost recruitment and retention, the report said.
"Alternately, having no gender diversity in the classroom might negatively impact the functioning of a school." Julie McCulloch, director of policy at the Association of School and College Leaders , said: "A great deal of work needs to be done to make teaching a more attractive career to men and women alike. This includes reversing the real terms pay cuts that teachers have experienced since 2010, reducing unmanageable workloads and ensuring all schools are properly funded."
