Teaching, particularly in primary schools, is globally a female-dominated profession. The reasons for this have been explored in many Western countries. Men in the United Arab Emirates face an additional dimension to the problem; that of the cultural expectation to be the provider and protector of the family. We interview six male final year students of a Bachelor of Education program who are soon to represent around ten percent of the total number of Emirati male teachers in Emirate. We examine their choice to become a teacher and how they dealt with cultural biases to do so. We report their suggestions for encouraging more Emirati men into the profession.

Why do Emirati males become teachers and how do cultural factors influence this decision?
