Labour will be offering men £1,000 to join nurseries and act as 'role models' for young children in an effort to battle Britain's toxic masculinity crisis in schools.
Fathers are among those being encouraged to take on the new role as part of a major drive to bolster early years education.
It comes amid fears a 'tsunami' of boys are becoming misogynists, with an increasing 'pool of rage' now seething among youngsters lacking strong male role models.
In a bleak assessment of the nation's youth, educators say classes are increasingly being threatened by boys with 'toxic' views on women, sex and relationships.
The government hopes that by diversifying nursery education and hiring more male staff, it could ultimately help to stop such toxic behaviour from ever developing.
