On MenTeach.org, there’s an article by Laura Clark – Daily Mail, entitled Primary schools launch drive to recruit more male staff. I found it very intriguing and want to share a few excerpts from it.

• A major new drive to recruit more male staff to primary schools was launched today as it emerged just one in eight teachers is a man.
• Experts said the shortage of male primary teachers was affecting boys and denying them vital role models.
• A sixth of single mums said their children spend less than two hours a week with a male role model such as a father figure, teacher or relative.
