Gender Equality: Sweden Bans Separate Boys And Girls Schools To Target Muslim Institutions

The Swedish government plans to bar its schools from employing gender segregation across all courses, the country’s education minister, Gustav Fridolin, told the local Sverige SR Radio Saturday.

Fridolin said he did not have a clear idea of the prevalence of separation of girls and boys in Swedish schools, according to the radio station, but painted the ban as a move toward equality, something that can’t be achieved through segregation.
