Asalamualaikum,

Alhamthulillah, it is good speech and triggers the listener’s thinking process.

I think it is better to advise the girls to study in girl’s school/college rather than advising them to control the bad temptation while studying in co-education.

In most of the speech and advise speakers give the opinion that the western schools are co-eduction. Actually this is not entirely true.

Generally, in the western countries like United Kingdom all the excellent schools are never co-eduction. It may sound surprising but it is a fact.

In India the students after 12th standard get admission to IIT if they are brilliant and gets good marks in the entrance exam.

In the UK, similar entrance exam is conducted in advance at 6th standard. Whoever gets good marks in the exam then they get admitted to excellent schools funded by the government. These schools are called Grammar schools where students study from 7th standard onwards. Generally very well educated pupils in this country are coming from these schools.

The whole country is divided into many regions for the grammar school admission management. Each region there is an admission authority who conducts exam and admit the students in the Grammar school who get more marks. Majority of these grammar schools are very old (more than 100 years) and never be co-eduction.

Please find the link to the Birmingham region grammar school authority web site.

In this region there are totally 9 grammar schools which are very big. Four schools are boys school, three schools are girls school and only one co-education school. These schools are the top most schools in the Birmingham region. These information surprised me when I came to know first.

Dear Brother Habib Mohamed!
Wa ‘alaikum Salaam wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu…
Jazaaka Allah khair for your positive feedback about the speech.

I am equally surprised to know that in the UK there are many unisex schools. Thank you very much for the information.

I agree with you when you said:
//I think it is better to advise the girls to study in girl’s school/college rather than advising them to control the bad temptation while studying in co-education.//

At the same time, I think you would also agree that controlling one’s impulses is a life long skill to be learnt by every one whether he/she studies in a unisex school or a coeducation school.

Please wait for and watch the remaining parts of the series, and then we will have a useful discussion on the topic.
