A mother has sparked widespread controversy after revealing she removed her daughter from school but kept her sons enrolled, citing concerns over the education system's approach to gender.
In a candid interview, the mum explained her decision, claiming that schools are failing girls by not addressing systemic biases. "I felt my daughter wasn't getting the same opportunities as her brothers," she said. "The system is stacked against girls, and I couldn't stand by and watch her potential go to waste."
Backlash from Educators
Education experts have condemned the move, arguing that removing a child from formal schooling could do more harm than good. "While we acknowledge concerns about gender equality, isolating a child from mainstream education isn't the solution," said a spokesperson for the National Education Union.
Social Media Divided
The story has gone viral, with social media users sharply divided:
- Some praise the mother for taking a stand against perceived inequality
- Others accuse her of gender discrimination against her own children
- Many question whether home education can provide proper socialisation
Broader Debate on Education
This incident has reignited discussions about:
- Gender gaps in STEM subjects
- Differences in how teachers treat boys and girls
- The rising trend of parents opting for home schooling
Local authorities have confirmed they are monitoring the situation to ensure all children receive suitable education as required by law.
