In the effort to ensure there is gender balance among the school teachers(currently 70% female), the education minister will recruit 50% male teacher.
Just heard 8pm news and I just couldn't believe my ears. The teaching profession is one of the very few areas where women outnumber men. It is important to look into the reason why the number is skewed, but is it necessary to put a gender quota? Probably too early to tell until we understand why the number is skewed.
Would they do the same to ensure gender balance in other fields, especially among the legal and medical professionals? I would cheer if they also implement this for the judges, and ministers too! If we apply the same logic, we should also have gender quota in many other professions.
