The Twilight Show with Nathan Gynn 02-03-22: Do boys need male teachers as role models?

Do boys need male teachers as role models? With men making up just three out of every ten teacher trainees this academic year in England, Nathan asks “Why don’t men want to teach?”. We discuss the barriers to recruiting more male teachers, particularly in Primary and some of the research around whether or not this will actually have an impact on disadvantaged boys attainment.
