Lack Of Men In Early Years And Primary Education?

[Guest]

Hi all, another forgot to mention that early years is also incorporated in my research hypothesis.... forfog to inlude the following -

 

Do you think there are a lack of male in the Early Years and Primary sector? If so, why do you think there are so few men?

 

Thank you

Hi Happydays -

Can't help directly, but I just thought I'd link you to a forum area specifically for discussing men in childcare, which includes a number of conversations, some references to research and/or campaigns and at least one blog link from a man.

 

It also includes a discussion you began last summer on the topic.

 

I'll move this topic into the same area to keep things tidy!

I wouldn't have a research hypothesis that asks a question where the answer is so well known, i.e. everyone knows that there is a gender imbalance in early years and primary education. A quick google should get you some statistics to quote.

 

The second part is the more interesting and relevant bit, I would say.

Do you want men to comment?

 

I'd be happy to explain why there's a lack of men in my view as a man..heh.
