The title is a bit of a click-bait. It is not an exodus but lack of male teachers applying. What is interesting is that at least some part of UK they are looking in to it maybe even change something.
What worries me however is that even male teachers tend to not be manly. My math teacher in 9'th grade was clearly favoring girls in class, would go hard on any guy who did a mistake and supportive of every girl. Shockingly he is now an outspoken feminist.
Male Teachers usually fall into one of three categories.
They're effeminate and ineffective, likely to get metoo'd and fired either by a colleague or worse a student.
They're masculine, strict and only cover the Stem classes. They're now fired for lack of care to children, HR sex/racial balancing quotas.
They're masculine but ineffective. They're not me too'd, they're on good terms with HR but everyone will ask "Where's John" when he finally hands in his resignation or worse as they cannot tolerate the abuse they see.

Don't hold your breath. Change will come, if and only if such change can happen without any possibility of adversely affecting the education of girls. Given how many feminists see that women's success must necessarily come at a cost of men's success, there does not seem to be a clear way forward.
Girls outperform boys at every stage in England’s schools. By the end of primary, 70 per cent reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths compared with 60 per cent of boys (Greg Hurst writes).
This gap is evident throughout education. Last year 23.7 per cent of GCSEs sat by girls were awarded top grades of 7, 8 or 9 compared with 17.5 per cent by boys, and 56.6 per cent of young women were going to university but 44.1 per cent of young men.
Girls’ education is profoundly important and should be celebrated. But their success masks the underachievement at school by too many boys, especially those from poorer families.
Their success is solely because of bias in teachers. The algorithm used to decide GCSE grades before being scrapped proved this, as girls made up the majority of people dropped a grade.
Female success in schools is because the entire classroom structure is designed around female learning. They has been countless studies that show men overwhelmingly learn in a hands on and active participative environment, while women learn from a passive environment. The damage done to the western schools was intentional and the same reason why gender segregated schools overwhelmingly outperform their counterparts.
I'd understood that this was the point of the exercise, not some anomaly.
The easiest way to bring parity is to hammer down on the successful demographics and prevent them from achieving progress.
The fact that some working class boys are utterly, utterly screwed is some minor consequence. Feminism has never been a poor people's religion, much less one that expends much effort looking out for poor boys.
Being a role model is not enough without a focus on education. The article makes a point that boys do not respond to some of the curriculum choices that appeal more to girls. Also teaching methods that work for girls do not necessarily work for guys. While a dad would mitigate the situation it is very common that dads to not be involved enough in children education, especially in low income families.
I agree that fathers need to strive to be a bigger influence on boys or we will have generations of self-hating, insecure boys raised by feminist teachers.
There's a similar trend in America, according to the University of Pennsylvania. Their report on the changing demographics of public school teachers found that the percentage of females in the profession steadily increased from 66.9% in the 1980-1981 school year to 76.6% in the 2015-2016 school year.
They further broke it down by level of education. They found that 90% of elementary school teachers, 73% of middle school teachers, and 59% of high school teachers were female during the 2015-2016 school year.

Notice that boys "underachieve", which implies agency. I'm guessing girls who don't succeed are somehow victims of this or that "system".

Well apart from you know, their fathers?
