KUWAIT: A number of lawmaker proposed an amendment that gives the government the power to force a coeducation ban at all schools, colleges and other educational facilities in Kuwait - including private ones.

The amendment, proposed by MPs Humoud Al-Hamdan, Dr Awdah Al- Ruwai’ie, Dr Mohammad Al-Huwailah, Ali Al-Khamees and Hamdan Al-Azmi, bans the ‘mixing’ of male and female students in classrooms, laboratories, libraries and anywhere else inside an educational facility. — Al-Qabas
