English primary schools still have few male teachers, according to official figures.
The General Teaching Council for England said that 181,696 women taught in primary schools, but only 25,896 men, meaning that only 12.5% or one in eight primary teachers are men.
And more than a quarter of state primary schools in England have no male teachers. Just 44 men work in state nurseries but 38.1% of the population of secondary school teachers are men.

A quarter of girls in Irish primary schools have been attacked by bullies in the previous three months.
But a study by Trinity College, Dublin, has revealed that boys are more likely to be the targets of violence with a third being kicked or hit over the same time period.
More than 5,500 children were surveyed and a quarter of older pupils said they had been the victim of lies or had rumours spread about them. Many of the targets of bullying were too afraid to report incidents to their parents.
John Carnell, Bullying UK CEO, said that parents who found their primary school age children were being bullied needed to contact their child's teacher immediately.
"Many instances can be nipped in the bud before they get out of hand," he said. "But if the class teacher isn't able to resolve the problem then parents need to make a written complaint to the head teacher."

Two weeks ago we announced that Bullying UK was in danger of closing unless funds of £50,000 could be raised to continue our work for the next year. Donations have fallen well short of what we needed, but we're pleased to say we have been contacted by a number of individuals and organisations looking to explore some very positive options with us.
We have decided to continue with our work for the next couple of months while we explore the range of possibilities we have open to us because our goal is to create a sustainable service that can continue helping parents and children across the UK.
Thanks to everyone for your fantastic messages of support and we hope to have more to tell you in the coming weeks.
John

A council in Kent has welcomed news that three academies can go ahead.
Medway Council's Brompton, Strood and Bishop of Rochester academies will get funding for new buildings, despite the government scrapping the Building Schools for the Future programme in England.
Two further academies, the Isle of Sheppey and Skinners, in Tunbridge Wells, are also back on the agenda for Kent County Council.
Bullying UK is running very low on funding so please help us to help children and their families by making a donation through our secure Justgiving page. Thanks. |

A teenage girl in Australia has been beaten up in a shopping mall after bullies set up fake internet accounts in her name.
Comments made using her identity, on the Diva Chat website, led to the Townsville student being attacked and injured by girls she didn't even know.
The bullies who had stolen her identity had also uploaded a picture of her from her Facebook account.
