The Iraqi government is planning to separate boys and girls in schools, a decision that is generating debate about how far it can help in the country’s development. The Ministry of Education has decided to start implementing the new decision in primary schools, then later at higher levels. Researchers found that girls struggling academically when they started secondary school benefited most from being in girls-only schools. The decision to go for single-sex schools drew criticism from so-called human rights organisations and liberal activists.
