Why Do We Need Male Teachers? The aim of this document is to provide males with some reasons to consider becoming a teacher.  · Children need to be taught by a range of different people, as school is meant to be a reflection of the world in general. At the moment this is not happening. A quarter of primary schools in the United Kingdom do not have a male teacher and the number of males teaching in secondary schools is dwindling.  · If pupils are taught mostly by female teachers there is a risk that young people could associate education with females solely. This could significantly limit the type of person that stays in school past the compulsory leaving age.  · All professions need a gender balanced workforce and this includes teaching. If pupils don’t come across a gender balanced workforce they may feel that teaching is only for a specific type of person.  · Recent studies show that parents want their children to be educated by both male and female teachers. They would welcome a change in the current gender imbalance. in about 1500 words discus male teacher roles in Elementary Art class and effect to students
