There is a discussion going on that in the future, if we are starting up new schools, they should all be coeducational. Statistically, what appears to be presented is that girls in all-girl schools are more likely to study STEM subjects than girls in coeducational schools where, as Ms Maniti indicated, there can be some sexism. Does that raise any concerns for the committee, in Ms Maniti's opinion?
