Minutes
Topic : Co-education at HCT
· Culture Discussion: Our group mentioned that the culture as a main point because it is against our culture but we are living in 21 century and the families should be open minded however, some families are stick to our culture and may not accept this idea. Conclusion: We moved to the other points so that maybe the view about culture might change, and after viewing all the points the opposition accepted the idea because this system respect our culture. · Academic performance Discussion: There will be challenge between the gender and each gender will work hard to raise the average of the gender. Conclusion: There will be a bonus for the gender which might get the higher average in each progress test. Moreover, they will have special discount from the shops which we are going to make a contract with. · Privacy Discussion: One of the attendees suggest to build two floor classes so that the girls can take off their face covers and the opposition mentioned that if there a handicap student will feel hardly to reach the second floor and it will cost more, so that doing a partition is better and will be costless. Moreover, we suggest to use the technology if the student have any question or comment. Conclusion: The attendees who suggest building two floor classes accepted the opposition idea because the handicap to reach to their seats easily, it will help the girls to feel free and we agreed of using OneNote session in the classes.
· Cost Discussion: In this point we mentioned that buying one land for building one college will reduce the construction costs a lot instead of buying two lands for each gender also the number of staffs will reduce therefore the annually budget will reduce. Conclusion: We all agreed that the cost will be less in terms of buying lands, construction costs and the annually budget. · Student conduct Discussion: One of the attendees mentioned that the females will shy and will not be active in the class. Conclusion: From the previous point we mentioned that they will use OneNote session so that the person who shy’s can write his question or his comment in the session and there will be 30 minutes at the end of the classes so that the teacher will answer and explain the point again. · Facilities Discussion: In this point there were different suggestions of having one canteen for both genders. Moreover, there were many suggestions for the library like mingling or providing time table and finally, the activities suggestions were having one activities place for both gender with providing time table or building two places for each gender. Conclusion: In this point we mentioned that we are going to have one canteen for both gender with a partition for females so that they can feel free and take of their face covers. Also to have one library for both genders but time table will be provided for each gender and finally to have two activities places, one for the males and the other for the females so no one can enter the others activities and will feel free.
