The Education Ministry in Malaysia is exploring the possibility of separating boys and girls during lessons on Reproductive and Social Health Education (PEERS) following a review of the syllabus.
The Education Ministry (MOE) in Malaysia is considering a proposal to separate boys and girls during lessons focused on Reproductive and Social Health Education ( PEERS ). This proposal comes after a review of the PEERS syllabus by the Parliamentary Special Select Committee (PSSC) on Women, Children and Community Development, which suggested gender segregation to create a more comfortable learning environment for students.
The MOE states that while they will take into account various factors, including cultural sensitivities and the effectiveness of mixed-gender versus segregated learning, their primary goal is to promote gender equality and inclusive learning experiences. The ministry emphasizes that the best approach will involve striking a balance between a safe and respectful learning environment and educational objectives. Pilot programmes, consultation with stakeholders, and evidence-based practices will guide the decision-making process. The updated curriculum will include age-appropriate and culturally sensitive topics on PEERS education, covering human relationships, respect for personal boundaries, and safety in both personal and online spaces
