This bar chart shows the percentage of teachers according to their sex in different UK educational institutions in 2010.
As an overall trend it is clear that there is a significantly higher percentage of women teachers in institutions of pre-school and primary education, whereas in institutions of higher education, such as universities the number of male teachers is greater.
Only around 5% and 8% of teachers in Pre-schools and primary schools are men. This can be compared with around 95% and 92% of women in the same institutions. However, the percentage of male and female teachers is very similar in secondary schools, colleges and private training institutes. In secondary schools there are only 5% more female teachers than male, in colleges the percentage is the same, while in private training institutes the number of male teachers is greater by 5%.
Consequently in universities a noticeably larger number of teachers are male. It is at around 75%, leaving 25% for women.
In conclusion, it is clear that women are keener to teach little children, whereas men tend to work with older students.

In conclusion, it is clear that women are keener (<-- I'm not sure 'keener' is the right word here. It might be because there are more job opportunities for women at this level, rather than a matter of choice.) to teach younger children, whereas men tend to work with older students.
