This indicator reflects the proportion of male educators in lower secondary schools who have completed the requisite formal training, either before or during their teaching careers, to effectively fulfill their roles in the classroom. It serves as a critical benchmark for assessing the quality of education, as trained teachers are generally better equipped to deliver curricula and foster student engagement. Moreover, a higher
percentage of trained male teachers can positively influence male student performance and motivation, adding to gender balance in education. The indicator also highlights potential disparities in professional development opportunities for male teachers compared to their female counterparts, emphasizing the importance of equity in teacher training initiatives for fostering a robust educational framework.
