Education ministry to make four schools co-educational

The government will introduce coeducational classes in grade one at Ameeniyya, Majeediyya, Dharumavantha and Hiriyaa Schools, Haveeru has reported.

Deputy Education Minister Dr Abdulla Nazeer told the paper that the schools were the only four in the Maldives to have no coeducation classes, which he suggested had “many advantages, including behavioural improvements to the students.”

“Since the beginning of the education sector, the Maldives has been following coeducation. The result is very good. So I do not think that a negative outcome would be observed due to the change,” Dr Nazeer told Haveeru.
