Training bosses say teaching is becoming  a much more attractive career option


The number of men training to become a primary school teacher has increased by more than 50%
in England in the last four years,
figures suggest.

     
   The Teaching Agency said men starting a career in primary teaching was growing at five times the rate of women.
         There were 3,743 male trainee primary teachers in 2011-12 compared to 2,476 in 2008-9, the agency reported.
           Interim chief executive Lin Hinnigan said primary teaching was becoming a more attractive option as a career.


'Classroom life'

         She said: "Primary teaching is increasingly a career for the most able graduates. It offers the opportunity to earn a good salary and progress quickly."
          The agency said teachers were twice as likely to be in management positions after three-and-a-half
years than graduates in comparable professions.
