Muslim Students at UK School Don’t Want Single Sex Classes
Muslim students at a UK Islamic faith school have told inspectors that they do not want to participate in single-sex lessons because doing so would not prepare them for modern life.
The students told a school inspector that such segregation within the school system was having a “negative effect” as it did not reflect how life operates outside the classroom.
A High Court legal battle caused the comments to come out, occurring over an Ofsted report concerning an unidentified school. The school cannot be named for legal reasons, as a judge at an earlier hearing noted that doing so could “generate a media storm and tensions and fears for parents and the local community.”
