The bar chart illustrates the proportion of male and female teachers in six different levels of education in the UK in 2010 using percentages with intervals of 20 percent.
Overall, it is clear that women dominated the early stages of education, while their male counterparts were only more dominant in university. Otherwise, the proportion between male and female teachers was almost identical.
In more detail, female teachers were the dominant educators in nursery/pre-schools as well as primary schools, with figures up to roughly 93 percent and 90 percent respectively, while male teachers only make up approximately 7 percent and 10 percent. Furthermore, in universities, it was the only place where male teachers make up the teaching staff more than female teachers, with percentages around 70 percent for male teachers, and 30 percent for female teachers.
In secondary schools, colleges, and private training institutes, there was a balanced mix between both genders, with a proportion difference that is never bigger than 10 percent. Additionally, in colleges, there was a perfect balance between male and female teachers, each with 50 percent. While male teachers had a 10 percent higher proportion than their female counterparts in private training institutes, the former having approximately 55 percent and the latter having approximately 45 percent, those figures are relatively insignificant compared to the very early or late stages of education.
