More men training as primary school teachers, says report



According to a new report researched by the Teaching Agency (TA), which is responsible for intial teaching training, showed that the number of male trainee primary school teachers in England has increased by more than 50% in the last four years, which means that the number of men undertaking a career in primary teaching has grown at five times the rate of women.
The agency said there were 3,743 trainee male primary teachers in 2011/12, compared with 2,476 in 2008/09.
Lin Hinnigan, the interim chief executive of the TA, said: "Primary teaching is increasingly a career for the most able graduates. It offers the opportunity to earn a good salary and progress quickly."
According to the TA, teachers are twice as likely to be in management positions after three and a half years than graduates in comparable professions.
Hinnigan added: "Our aim in joining forces with talented male teachers from primary schools across England is to show the reality of life in a classroom and why there's never been a better time to join the profession."
