Yes.

One important factor in the German-speaking countries that is allowing this push for male teachers to go forward is that the imagined spectre of child molestation by males is vanishing into the mist because of a big push by pedagogs to teach a comprehensive sex ed program even to very young children. The transparency about the topic allows young men to begin to be put on an equal footing with young women. With such openness, there's not going to be as much of an inclination in German-speaking countries to misconstrue male affection toward children as somehow diabolical.

Here's another article about the push for male childcare workers in Der Spiegel.

I don't agree with the government spending money on this. We should remove barriers to entry if they exist for men. But we shouldn't be spending money to produce gender quotas, even moderate ones. If we are against social engineering, and we should be, we need to be against it when it favors men.

This post does a fantastic job of missing an obvious point - that daycare and primary-school workers are underpaid. Raise the pay to a level commensurate with the importance of the work, and all you'll need to do to get men into the field is not discriminate against them in hiring.

And shortly after these German men complete the training and move into the work force, the German Feminists will scream that there is a sudden and dastardly attempt by men to dominate and control the daycare market and that new legislation must be enacted to protect women's role as primary caregiver ... and to protect the children from the men. After all, feminists all know that 'all paedophiles are men', so that an increase of male daycare workers necessarily means an increase in paedophiles in close contact with children. Femininsts MUST stop this by denying employment to the men who complete this retraining !
