A “masculinity crisis” is building in schools across the UK, a teaching union has warned, after almost a quarter of female teachers it surveyed said they have been subject to misogynistic abuse from a pupil in the last year.
For the fourth year in a row NASUWT teachers’ union has surveyed a rise in teachers reporting misogyny from pupils - up to 23.4 per cent from 17.4 per cent in 2023.
