Gender of teachers and learning success of students

Dee shows that the gender of a teacher has a significant influence on the objectively measured and subjectively assessed learning success of students . Dee analyzed data from nearly 25,000 students from a nationally representative longitudinal study in American schools. These results, combined with the fact that the majority of teachers are female, suggest that boys are disadvantaged at school.
