Co-Education Prepares Students For Labor Market: Al-Maimouni
KUWAIT CITY, May 16
Several male and female students in their various specialties at Kuwait University have unanimously condemned segregation law, wondering why the law is implemented in a university campus. The students are of the view that people in the Kuwaiti society naturally mingle freely on the roads and in communities, citing public and private work places, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
Law student Mudhi Malallah emphatically said she is among those who are absolutely in opposition to coercive law.
She added the law draws the country back to Stone Age, so "why implement segregation law in the universities while people mix freely in other parts of society."
Corroborating her colleague, a student at the College of Education Eman Al-Maimouni stressed the implementation of segregation law will lead to crisis in the sections and specialties. She reasoned that the female students are higher in number, so a gap will be created among male and female students in their specialties.
She noted that co-education prepares students for labor market, because male and female employees work together in public and private sectors. In his contribution, a business administration student Abdullah Al-Ayoub affirmed that segregation is not in the best interest of anybody, so whoever thinks in that direction is shortsighted. How is it possible for opposite genders to work together freely after school when they never mingled as students, he argued, indicating "implementation of the law will definitely reflect on the social and academic life."
