	ANALYSIS
	The figures in the table above indicate that over the past six years, female teachers continue to be the dominant sex among the teaching faculty.
	What is most outstanding though is that the the teaching positions are held by University graduates with formal training in teaching.
	The percentage in graduates grew by fourteen percentage points from 58% in 1997 to 75% in 2002.
