After never seeing primary school teaching as a career path, Ryan Brown now believes he's found his "calling", but he's one of just two male classroom teachers at his Canberra primary school.

Article suggests gender quotas and scholarships. Has anyone considered treating, and paying, teachers like the vital professionals they are?

    Quotas sounds not right. If there were quotas wouldn’t there be equal representation?

    It was a long time ago ( the 60s-70s) but I recall having 3 male teachers in primary school.

      It depends what the quota is. It could be a minimum percent. It could be a percent of people interviewed for the job.
