The table gives data on the English language teacher qualifications that students in the UK were awarded in August, 2007 and in September, 2009.
The total numbers of students at the two times were similar, but there was a noticeable difference between the figures for males and females who finished the training course.
The number of male qualifiers was vastly outnumbered by females and the percentage of males was gradually dropping. In 2007/8, out of a total of 32,930 students, only 24.7% of them were male. That proportion of males in 2008/9 was even lower, with only 22.7%. This is a drop of 2%.
There was also a considerable difference in the types of qualification that students chose to study for. Most students qualified with a TEFL certificate, and this was true for both men and women. The number of the TEFL’s qualifiers was roughly three times the number of students who completed with the Cambridge UCLES CELTA or other degrees, even though there was a slight decrease from 25,446 in September, 2007 to 24,917 a year later.
Thank you so much!
