Where have all the male school teachers gone?

According to the latest statistics, men make up less than a third of Australian school teachers. In primary schools, the gender gap is even wider. The proportion of male primary school teachers has declined 40 per cent since 1985, and some researchers are warning they could become virtually extinct in Australian schools by 2067. When so many young boys are looking to online influencers to understand masculinity and their place in the world, how urgent is this lack of male role models in the classroom?
