However, there are catches: Teacher Top Top Counts are only at the primary level.
This report shows that the top primer and so on, the number of men’s teachers remains higher.
At the pre-primary level, there are more than 1 lakh female teacher up to 27,000 men.
In Karnataka, 57% or 2,57,790 of 4,50,592 teachers are women.
More male teachers in the government, the schools assisted: The ratio of this report is more balanced in the primary value, with 19.6 women lakh and 15.7 teacher men lakh.

“Every dynamic and vital profession, and I consider teaching as one, must have a fair distribution of men and women.
Children need to learn from teachers who can offer a perspective of men and women.
In a younger class, many schools in India prefers Women’s teacher, because they look more nurtured.
However, I think it’s good for a male teacher to show care too! If not, we show a sexist bias that supports women’s teacher, “said Maya Menon, founder of the Director of the Teacher Foundation.
“In a higher class, traditionally, both male teachers and women are sought after.
There is also a differential salary in India between elementary and secondary school teachers,” Menon said.
This does not occur in other countries: all teachers regardless of the level of what they teach requires similar qualifications and, starting with a similar salary.
“Male teachers in India prefer to teach in high school because they are paid more, especially with the scale of the government …” he said.
