A third of teachers reported misogyny among pupils last week, survey suggests
More than a third of secondary teachers have reported misogynistic behaviour from pupils at their school in the last week, a survey commissioned by BBC News suggests.
About 40% of the teachers who responded also said they felt ill-equipped to handle such conduct.
The BBC asked 6,000 secondary teachers about their experiences of misogyny in the classroom, using the survey tool Teacher Tapp.
The government says it has published guidance for teachers on dealing with extreme ideologies and will protect children online.
It comes as teachers and parents say they are increasingly worried about the misogynistic and violent content that children – especially boys – are being exposed to online.
