Single gender High Schools

==Background ==
The differences between the sexes should not be ignored.
: Researcher said: "We have had a generation or more now of promoting gender equality but the differences exist and I raise the question as to whether we should teach the two sexes separately for some of the time... Boys and girls have different experiences and want different things," he said.

===Science Interests Split the Sexes===
The sexes are split on science interests, researchers say, leading to calls for gender-specific syllabuses. A survey of just over 1,200 pupils in England found the hot topic for boys was explosive chemicals while girls were more interested in the human body. Tailoring lessons to each sex may help reverse the decline in take-up of science in schools, researchers said. The University of Leeds report is part of a global study, Relevance of Science Education, based at Oslo University.
The study, based on responses to 250 questions, found that boys had a strong
interest in space and destructive technologies. Their top turn-off was a
lesson on alternative therapies.
