Arabia
Women will teach boys in Saudi public schools for the first time

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Female teachers will now educate boys in public schools for the first time across Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, the Ministry of Education announced.

According to the ministry, more than six million students started a new school term this Sunday, with women teaching 13.5 percent of young boys across 1,460 government schools.

Classes will not be mixed in primary schools, and separate classrooms, toilets, and other facilities will be available for boys and girls.

The ministry said that hiring female teachers is part of an initiative that falls under the Early Childhood Schools Project, which incorporates a special program to better facilitate elementary school students’ transition to their next stage of schooling.

The project was implemented after several scientific and behavioral studies were conducted to determine the most efficient methods of early education, the ministry said. The studies found that female teachers bring benefits to education.

According to the ministry, one major benefit of the program is the presence of female teachers in classrooms eases communication between teachers and parents.

The new teachers will be provided with teacher training and support for their role.

#3  Schools are at their best with male and female teachers. Having only men (or only women) deprives students of valuable role models in formative years, and deprives many students (particularly ones with rotten parents) of ever getting the chance of having a caring teacher who might give them sex specific advice about how to act.

#1  Women teach, almost exclusively, in Israel - and I see little benefits.
