Increase in male primary teachers

Melville Primary School, WA Education department, primary teachers

Males make up just under 11 per cent of the current teaching primary workforce according to the WA Education department.  This is a small improvement from 2016.

One school in WA, Melville Primary School, has 10 males employed out of 32 teaching staff.  In most schools it is common to go without ever having a male teacher, however at this primary school, they may have several in succession.
