Stephney Webb, Education Transformation Team: Yes, because, physiologically, boys do learn differently from girls.

Dr Angela Ramsay: Yes. It is something that requires more research, but by nature of socialisation, girls are greater listeners than boys. Boys on the whole may require more physical activities.

Kevin Ellis: The boys are easily distracted by the girls so I think it is best if they are separated.

Simone Campbell: Both of them should be educated the same way, that way they can interact on the same level.

Nina Wright: Interaction is essential to the education experience. To me, in the co-ed schools you have a greater level of competitiveness between the sexes and this is good.

Glenroy James: Yes, the whole sex business. Some boys will get distracted easily and focus on other things when they should be focusing on their education. When you separate them, they will focus better.

Dr Sydney McGill: Boys learn a lot more by doing. They need to be more active in the learning adventure than girls.

Donna Parchment: I am not an expert, but my thinking is that each child is unique. In the category of male and female, a lot of research demonstrates circumstances that are more productive for girls than boys and vice versa.
