Male secondary teachers in UK at record low, 35%

dailymail.co.uk

The number of male secondary school teachers in the UK has dropped to a record low of 35%, down from 46% in 1994. This decline raises concerns about boys lacking positive male role models in education. Between 2018 and 2024, the number of female secondary teachers increased by 9,600, while male teachers only rose by 3,400. Experts suggest that fewer male teachers may leave boys vulnerable to negative influences. A report from the Higher Education Policy Institute will recommend strategies to increase male teacher recruitment. It will also explore the impact of male role models on boys' educational achievement.
