The minister was responding to a question from Stéphanie Anquetil. He said that private colleges, including denominational secondary institutions will have the option to operate as a school for boys and girls, if they want. " Although recently it was noted that four denominational colleges have opted for coeducation , "said Vasant Bunwaree. For the latter, this "system allows a smooth transition between primary and secondary. Especially these students have evolved in an environment of coeducation for six years during the primary .
