Preschool groups want more
encouragement for men to work in childcare centres. The latest figures show that men
now make up less than one percent of the workforce in early childhood care,
compared with two percent in 1992. Sue Thorn, chief executive of the
Early Childhood Council says with few men working in primary schools and
fewer in childcare centres, a society is being created in where children are
quarantined from men. She says the paedophile hysteria of the 1990s has
caused good men to vacate roles caring for children. |
