Abstract
The percentage of male primary school teachers in Australia has decreased in recent decades, from 30.24% in 1983 to 18.26% in 2016. Education authorities have responded to this with recruitment-focused initiatives, such as scholarships and quota systems.
But the continuing decline suggests more attention needs to be given to retaining those already in the profession.
