Maori are showing how New Zealand can improve its dire shortage of male teachers in early childhood education, says a world authority.
Less than 1 per cent of New Zealand’s teachers in early childcare centres are men, one of the lowest rates in the world, says Jan Peeters, co-ordinator of the Resource and Training Centre for Child Care at Belgium’s University of Ghent.
The sex abuse convictions of creche worker Peter Ellis 13 years ago still cast a long shadow over men in the industry and male teachers are often viewed as a risk to the toddlers they work with.
Those in the industry agree that children are missing out on male role models because of the lack of male teachers.
