Employment is relatively stable, salaries are guaranteed, and the demand for teachers is still in a period of steady growth in the future. The above characteristics have made teachers a popular profession in recent years. However, according to data from the Ministry of Education, in recent years, the proportion of male teachers among primary and secondary school teachers has shown a downward trend year by year. In 2020, male teachers accounted for 28.83%, 41.19%, and 44.37% of full-time teachers in elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools, respectively, which were 7.44, 5.3, and 4.29 percentage points lower than in 2015. And the lower the level of education, the lower the proportion of male teachers. This situation also occurs in kindergartens. Male kindergarten teachers are an easily overlooked group. According to the "2017 Education Statistics" published by the Ministry of Education, the proportion of male kindergarten teachers among full-time teachers is less than 3%. Most of the teachers in kindergartens and lower grades of elementary schools are women for their own reasons. However, the benefits of maintaining a certain proportion of male teachers in primary and secondary schools and kindergarten teachers are obvious.
Men's participation in teacher work can not only correctly participate in students' emotional cognition, but also contribute to the diversity of gender cognition in education. At present, there are many problems in the education field that need to be solved urgently, so the call for improving the male to female ratio in the teaching staff is relatively weak. And to some extent, this situation also fits people's growth experience and the concepts that are shaped by this experience. However, it cannot be explained that this phenomenon is reasonable just because of the existence of "what exists is reasonable." To change this phenomenon, of course, we cannot rely on "Lalang", but we need to change the concept. When the income level of kindergarten and elementary school teachers is enough to give men and women aspiring to live a decent life, I believe people will come uninvited. . Nowadays, some primary and secondary schools have attracted master students and even doctoral students from prestigious schools. Isn’t that the truth?
