Innocent Accused	I wonder what scares off men? Could it be the growth in false allegations?
TED	In a speech on Tuesday, Mr Gove said more male teachers were needed, especially in primary schools "to provide children who often lack male role models at home with male authority figures who can display both strength and sensitivity". "One of the principal concerns that men considering teaching feel is the worry that they will fall foul of rules which make normal contact between adults and children a legal minefield," he said. He said the government had clarified rules regarding contact between teachers and pupils. Mr Gove said a "troops to teachers" programme, to be launched later this year, would "ensure that there are many more male role models entering teaching". Former military personnel will be offered bursaries1 for teacher training and a fast-track route if they lack degree-level qualifications. www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-14748273
