According to the Department for Education and Skills, 15.7% of primary school teachers in England are male - 26, 200 teachers, compared with 141, 000 femaleprimary teachers.
Gender balance among staff is vital: countries with a higher proportion of femaleprimary teachers are more likely to have higher enrolment rates for girls in secondary schools.
But with polls showing the Ohio contest neck-and-neck in the days leading up to the primary, Clinton got a boost from female voters and those who only recently made up their minds.
This includes providing female staff and maintaining strong links with primary care, community mental health teams and other voluntary and statutory organisations involved in the women's care.
