For March 2022, it was also 23 paid FTE equating to 23 HC.

Therefore, only staff employed as part of the core departmental D&amp;I team have been included in this response.</p><p>These roles are directly focused on the delivery of the departments strategic diversity and inclusion objectives through its policies, processes and practices and also wider government priorities and strategies. This includes Civil Service D&amp;I strategy, Inclusive Britain and the National Disability Strategy. The roles also help the department to ensure it is meeting its statutory obligations in relation to equalities legislation whilst delivering value for money.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 09/06/2023 14:48:51 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

uin	186829
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2023 answer text <p>​​The Department wants to attract and retain diverse, talented teachers from all backgrounds, and this includes recruiting male teachers. It is important that schools and their leadership teams reflect their communities and their pupils. The Department knows that good teachers, regardless of gender or background, provide positive role models and shape the lives of young people.</p><p>​The gender of new entrants to postgraduate teacher training has remained broadly similar since 2015/16, with 28% being male in 2022/23. 16% of primary postgraduate trainees were male compared to 39% of secondary postgraduate trainees in 2022/23.</p><p>​More women apply to the primary phase than men, which is reflected in the higher proportion of female teachers working in primary schools. Whilst it remains true that men make up a smaller proportion of the teaching workforce, the number of male teachers in primary schools has gradually increased since 2010. Since 2010, there has been an increase of over 7,000 male teachers in state funded nursery and primary schools, from 28,180 in 2010/11 to 35,202 in 2021/22.</p><p>As of November 2021, in state funded nursery and primary schools, 26% of headteachers were male, compared with 14% of all nursery and primary teachers.</p><p>The Department is using the data gathered through its new in-house teacher recruitment services, such as the new Apply for Teaching Training service. These services are generating new real-time data and insight into recruitment of male primary Initial Teacher Training (ITT) candidates and the recruitment practices of schools and universities that offer ITT.</p><p>​The Department’s recruitment campaigns are targeted at audiences of students, recent graduates, and potential career changers, regardless of gender. The Department makes every effort to ensure that our advertising is fully reflective of this across the full range of marketing materials used. The Department continues to develop its work to ensure that diversity and inclusion is central to the work delivered.</p><p>The Department is working with its Teacher Vacancy Service to ensure online case studies encourage more male primary teachers into the profession, through sharing positive and encouraging stories from teachers.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 09/06/2023 12:56:03 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
