There are gender anomalies in many
professions, but it would be hard to find such an imbalance as in the early
childhood sector. The defence forces might come
close, and the police and nursing are still out of kilter, but just 1 per
cent of pre-school teachers are men and it's looking to get worse. It's been 15 years since the
paedophile hysteria generated by the Christchurch Civic Creche case, and it
is time to move on. It is the children who are missing out, especially today
when so many of them do not have fathers at home. |
