Men in Primary Education

Bol

By fostering a culture of allyship and collaboration, this book aims to empower educators of all genders to work together in nurturing the next generation of students and leaders. This book is not solely focused on men; it is about celebrating diversity, dismantling stereotypes, and creating a brighter future for all children. Why are just 1 in 7 primary teachers male? Developed from the Men Teach Primary network, this thought-provoking book explores the complexities surrounding this under-representation. It asks what the absence of men means for all children, for schools and for the profession as a whole. Through insightful research, personal reflection and the lived experience of educators, this book celebrates the universal rewards of primary teaching, and examines the structural barriers and benefits men encounter alongside the persistent social stigma they can face. Drawing these threads together, it sets out meaningful short and long-term strategies for building more gender-balanced teaching teams and explains the right reasons for wanting more men in the profession.
