Oh man, this is even sooner than I expected:

Deputy Parliament Speaker Sadık Yakut said on Wednesday that Turkey made a mistake in allowing coeducation and promised that efforts to correct that mistake would come soon.
Delivering a speech at the Turkish Parliament´s 14th International Forum on Children, Yakut said, “Turkey made a historic mistake in allowing the education of male and female students at the same schools in moves toward Westernization.”
He added that there are Western schools in Turkey where coeducation is not allowed.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan set off an international controversy in early November when he spoke out -- and threatened government action -- against male and female students living together.
once i read somewhere, in a western country, randomly all students in a class were girls. the next year they were mixed with boy students. the same teacher were still teaching them and observed the difference. the teacher said that girls success in education became weaker, their behaviour changed, raising their finger to answer questions or ask more questions became less then previous year. and they became more silent.
anyway, i dont say that boys and girls should be seperated but there is no research about success of mixed gender education. at least there must be an alternate option. if i were i girl, i would prefer going to a high scholl all girl students inside. there is no option for this.
from my experiences: two of my teachers thought mixed gender education is not enough. we should make them more mixed. in my class, there were double chairs, i mean always two students sit side by side. our female english teacher said from now on everybody in the class have to stay one boy one girl. after that many problems began. girls begged their teacher, we dont wanna sit with such and such person. the teacher insisted and forced them to stay. next week some girls had big problems with some boys and started to cry, they said they cant bear it anymore. after all we returned back to our naturel sitting position and everything got normal.
