It Is An Offense For Both Genders To Sit Together

Is it wrong for a man and a woman to sit together, exchange words, or listen to a lecture together?

Though there is something called knowledge or thought exchanging within each other. Men and women were formed with the intention of assisting one another. There is no reason for men and women to be in separate classes for the same lecture or course, in my opinion.

When I heard the words "It's not good for both genders to be in the same class, even Islamically and Christianically, it's not good," it struck me as unusual. Whatever that has happened, I believe they should not have tried to express something they weren't permitted to say. Which is completely unacceptable.

Even though they are referred to be "higher institutions," they are nonetheless but lacking in many areas. What used to irritate me about the school was that they claimed to practise Islam. What type of Islam is this?

Around the location where the institution was to be found. I realised that there are still primary and secondary schools there, but they operate in the same manner. Is it a good idea to keep adults separate from one another?

Then it occurred to me that I had previously heard about it from one source; but this time I was prepared to pay a visit to the school.

When I first got at the school, all I could think was, "Why are they so mean?" Is it only for females? Because the day I got there, I was only able to meet girls at the school. And I began the process of getting there. I approached a female student at the school and asked her if the school was designed for exclusively girls or for all genders. Then she clarified that it was meant for both. She went on to say, "Haven't you been to this school before?" Yes, I replied. Ooh! It's understandable. She stated as much.

However, I eventually discovered that there was a problem that affected both genders, which is why they were separated. They've previously been together. But, whatever the issues, they are both adults who do not need to be separated. That is something that all students do. Their eventual solution, however, is to separate them, which is unjust.

In addition, throughout my time there, I conducted some research on students. They normally meet near the back of the school, according to my observations, because they are not allowed to meet in class or on the school grounds. Each male and female department in that school has its own WhatsApp group. Similarly, each tribe (various languages) has its own gathering place. They also divided them within the school. Outside of school, though, they are together.

One day, I was able to spend time with one of the school's H.O.D. while students signed some forms. When one of the students is having a conversation with H.O.D. Then he said, "Sir, one of your students and I are engaged." Where did you meet, H.O.D. inquired? He: Sir, please don't say anything to the school's principal because we live in the same neighborhood. "wana daisika," (mad man). That's excellent. Shaa, you've got to be serious. H.O.D. said.

Indeed, until those students band together, their actions will change for the better. Because they used to act as if they were odd beings. H.O.D., I said.

Finally, I believe that if the school can afford to establish school rules and regulations, nothing will go wrong between the two parties. They can still do it in such a way that the male sits in the front and the female at the back. Also, the school will be at ease. All of their lecturers will be less stressed as a result of this. I reasoned that if they could get through this, their school would run smoothly.
