The glass ceiling has been well and truly smashed in schools, with women now outnumbering men in the top job for the first time.
Of Victoria's 1587 government school principals, 50.9 per cent are female compared with only 18.3 per cent in 1991.
But as the trend for women in leadership roles grows, the number of male teachers in primary schools has slipped to only one in five.
Lalor West Primary School principal Anne Hulett said there were no longer barriers for women who wanted to scale the ladder.
