Education

B.C. Teachers’ Federation leaders are showing scant interest in responding to the way the proportion of male teachers has declined to one in four.

Last month, delegates to the BCTF convention rejected a motion to “take steps to redress the increase in gender disparity in the teaching profession, such as engaging members through a task force.”

The BCTF is not alone in showing little concern for the fall in male teachers. That’s despite a band of North American advocates maintaining male teachers could provide positive role models for boys, who are doing increasingly poorly in kindergarten to Grade 12. Young men, in addition, now account for less than 40 per cent of those in higher education.

A worthwhile initiative as they say but one doomed to fail.

The only type of male likely to be granted a spot in a teacher’s college today is probably a drag queen.

Remember, in those long ago innocent years before wokeism, and environmentalism, and social justice-ism captured the school boards and entered the classroom, when teachers taught subjects?

You know reading, writing, arithmetic. I do. I remember when for the earliest grade there were alphabet cards.

A “pink education” phenomenon in Hungary that favours women could endanger the economy, lower birth rates and disadvantage men, a report says.

Women are over-represented in Hungarian higher education, according to parliament’s economic watchdog, seen as close to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The authors warned that an increase in female graduates could make women less likely to marry and have children.
