We all know the female gender dominated the teaching profession, but I don’t think few fully understand how startling the ratio is. I found the data on NSW Department of Education website and made a table which you can see at following.
| Year | Primary Male (%) | Primary Female (%) | Secondary Male (%) | Secondary Female (%) | Total Male (%) | Total Female (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | 19.5 | 80.5 | 44.2 | 55.8 | 28.4 | 71.6 |
| 2012 | 19.5 | 80.5 | 43.5 | 56.5 | 27.9 | 72.1 |
| 2013 | 18.9 | 81.1 | 43 | 57 | 27.3 | 72.7 |
| 2014 | 18.7 | 81.3 | 42.5 | 57.5 | 26.6 | 73.4 |
| 2015 | 18.3 | 81.7 | 41.9 | 58.1 | 26 | 74 |
In primary school, the ratio is 1 to 4, with secondary school the ratio is 2 to 3. When you combined both primary and secondary school teacher numbers in NSW, for every male teacher, there is three female teacher.
