The bar chart shows the gender distribution of teachers in six types of educational settings in the UK 2010.

In three of the six educational settings, females outnumbered males. Female teachers made up a huge difference of teachers who work particularly with children: nursery and primary school. The gender gap is altogether large in the setting of pre-school, where they were 25 times as maly female schoolteachers as male ones.

Men and women were more equally represented in settings which work with teenagers: secondary school, college and private training institute academic staff. In secondary school, there were nearly as many men (approximately 45) as women (approximately 55). This is also true for college. University is the only one educational setting in which men significantly outnumbered women, twice as many as women.

All in all, the chart shows that in the UK in 2010 the teaching profession became female-dominated, even though men continue to occupy an essential role in educational settings, especially the ones that work with teenagers.
