Gender segregation in classrooms at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad

Gender segregation in classrooms at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad was placed on the government's agenda.

Since the beginning of the nationwide protests in 1401, the Islamic Republic government, in addition to oppressively suppressing and arresting people and imposing compulsory hijab on girls and women, has tried to separate the presence of men and women simultaneously in some places. This practice has also been carried out in the past in some parks, and an even and odd plan was planned for the presence of men and women in the park.

Now this guideline (the plan to separate women and men) has also spread to universities, so that according to the regulations issued by Abolfazl Ghaffari, the deputy director of cultural, social and student affairs at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, girls and boys must sit in separate rows in the classroom.

This instruction was issued in accordance with the regulations approved by the Cultural Revolution Council, and professors and students are required to implement these regulations.

The full text of the regulation issued to Dr. Rezaei Roknabadi and its copy can be seen below.

With the issuance of the above regulation and the start of gender segregation in the aforementioned university, it is expected that this regulation will become mandatory and enforceable in all universities. But will the freedom-loving people and zealous women of Iran implement the aforementioned regulation or will they resist the system with its unreasonable demands and impositions?
