NASUWT- The Teacher’s Union has published a news story on misogyny in schools. The union carried out a survey of over 5,000 teachers with findings suggesting that: misogyny from pupils has risen, with almost a quarter of female teachers reporting that they have been subjected to misogyny from a pupil in the last year; a fifth of all teachers reporting that they have been subjected to discriminatory language from a pupil in the last year including sexist, racist and homophobic language; and misogynistic comments have often come after attempting to address behaviour concerns. The union is calling for mandatory professional development packages to help teachers identify, challenge, and safely de-escalate behaviour rooted in online radicalisation, sexism, and hate.
