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.
Mike Keys is a primary teacher and assistant headteacher with over 17 years of classroom experience. He has taught in schools across Hertfordshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, as well as spending time teaching at an English language college in Western Australia. Alongside his teaching role, he has a particular interest in developing teachers and shaping school curricula. In 2020, he co-founded Men Teach Primary, a social media network created to build a global support network for men to share and celebrate their passion for primary teaching.
