Assad addresses school gender separation in Damascus
The Freedom Institute in Damascus has decided to separate boys from girls in the middle and high school levels, aiming to reduce cases of harassment and bullying against girls and to prevent inappropriate behavior, according to a school announcement on Facebook. The decision comes after a decline in female enrollment and some families’ refusal to accept coeducation, while the school insisted that the decision was made independently and without any official interference. Founded in 1925, and having graduated prominent personalities including President Bashar al-Assad, the school is one of the few mixed-gender schools in Damascus. The decision has sparked debate, with supporters viewing it as a responsible educational measure, and opponents fearing it could lead to reduced freedoms and more restrictive developments.
