The bar chart compares the proportion of male and female teachers across six types of educational institutions in the UK in 2010.
Overall, the data shows a clear gender divide: women dominated early-stage education, while men were more represented in higher education. Middle levels of education demonstrate a more balanced distribution.
In nursery and pre-school settings, women accounted for almost all teaching staff, with men forming only a tiny minority. A similar pattern is seen in primary schools, where the proportion of female teachers remained extremely high.
At secondary school level, the genders were more evenly distributed, although women still slightly outnumbered men. In colleges, the share of male and female teachers was almost equal, indicating one of the most balanced sectors in the chart.
In private training institutes, men held a small majority. The largest gap in favor of men appeared in universities, where male teachers made up roughly two-thirds of the workforce, while women represented the remaining third.
