Aug 30 - GSD Calls For Debate On Co-Education

The GSD has said that there should be an informed debate about co- education in this community, whether it is desirable and, if so, whether it should be limited to A-Level students or start earlier.

A statement continued: “The GSD has been advocating co-education for some time. We believe it is in the interests of students, teachers and the education system generally but we recognize this is a matter that has to be debated fully and that stakeholders have to be engaged. In the meantime a look at the subjects on offer for both GCSE and A-Level at both Westside and Bayside shows the disparity of subjects offered to both boys and girls.

“We believe there should be no such disparity and, whether we opt for co-education or not, we should be working to end it soonest. It is the intention of the GSD to file a motion for the end of September sitting of Parliament to debate this important issue.”

The GSD also took the opportunity to congratulate students and teachers on their “magnificent” GCSE results. The party says that to have outperformed UK schools and obtained the best results in five years is a wonderful achievement adding that “everyone concerned has to be congratulated.”
