Domestic The gender-segregated sport at Al-Azhar school in Stockholm has aroused strong reactions . But the school is not alone to divide classes for girls and boys. Half of the country’s Muslim schools divide boys and girls when it’s time for sports, reports the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.
According to the newspaper, there are ten schools with a Muslim orientation registered as confessional of the National Agency. Two of these, Progress School in Stockholm and Dawn School in Botkyrka, say they also divide boys and girls in sport. Two more schools, Cordoba International School in Stockholm and Römosseskolan in Gothenburg, said that sport is divided when the newspaper asks the question that puzzled parent. Four schools report that physical education classes are common, while a school, Imanskolan in Uppsala, has not responded to Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet question.
Broken lessons have Advances school has had since its inception in 1995. This is according to the headmaster that many girls would not otherwise attend in education, and that the School Inspectorate, who has visited several times, never responded.
– We have been around for twenty years, and it has gone well. What is it that makes it bad right now? says Rector Khemais Bassoumi to the newspaper.
It is unclear how common gender-specific sports are in other schools. The magazine National World has written about gender breakdown during PE classes also appeared on Laboraskolan in Långaryd, run by the Plymouth Brethren.
