Gender Discrimination in Delhi Govt. Co-ed Schools

WHY IS IT SO?????????

Delhi Government Co-ed School at Jasola.

(Having 2111 students including over 1000 girl students)

Class 6^th

There are total 6 Sections . 2 Sections are exclusively having Girls enrolled and 3 Sections exclusively having Boys enrolled and all these 5 Sections are Hindi medium. 6^th Section is English medium having both Girls and Boys enrolled.

Class 7^th

There are total 6 Sections. 2 Sections exclusively for Girls & 3 Sections exclusively for Boys and all these 5 sections are Hindi Medium. 6^th Section is of English Medium and is having both Girls and Boys enrolled.

Class 8^th, 9th and 10^th

There are total 5 Sections in each 8^th, 9th and 10^th classes. 2 Sections in each of these classes are exclusively for girls and the rest of the 3 Sections in each of these classes are exclusively for boys and all the section are Hindi Medium.

Presently, there is no English Medium Section but it will come up in the next academic year when Class 7^th students of English medium would be promoted to class 8^th.

Such a Gender Discrimination Practice is also prevalent in Government Co-ed School at Tuglakabad .There is possibility of prevalence of such unfair and unjust practice in many more Delhi Government Co-ed Schools.
