Single-gender schools “can lead to negative behaviour” later in life - but should be protected, according to a principal.
Single-gender schools “can lead to negative behaviour” later in life - but should be protected, nonetheless.
It comes as Higher Education Minister Patrick O’Donovan has called for an end to single-sex schools, stating that society would benefit from a co-ed learning model.today, Ms Ennis said she doesn’t share the Fine Gael politician’s views. “His rationale, while it sounds very noble, is looking to schools to cure the ills of society—I don't agree with him.“They have already been phased out by the Government for a good few years now by not supporting the setting up of any single-sex schools.”Ms Ennis brushed off the idea that boys and girls from single-sex schools only socialise with the opposite gender when going to college.
“I'd call it interfering with natural evolution and constructing a situation where it will be very difficult to find a school,” she said.
