Yes they do - there are programmes to get more men teaching, especially to younger children.

This is mentioned in every single thread about women in tech on HN, btw.

It's also asked how prevalent those programs are compared to IT. "Women in Tech" is now a common phrase in IT, is "Men in Education" as well?

According to Google, "men in education" is the more common of the two phrases, for whatever that's worth:

"men in education" = 2,070,000

"women in tech" = 528,000

However,

"men in education" = 2,070,000

"women in technology" = 9,200,000

"women in technology" = 9,310,000

The problem is that they're never mentioned by anyone else, e.g. by mainstream media.
