According to reports, Science Minister [Minister of Higher Education] Kamran Daneshjo said, “Regarding Islamizing universities, while recognizing that concentrating on the content of Islamic lessons are the main aim, we are looking to carry out the laws of the High Cultural Revolution Council regarding chastity and the Hijab and in line with this, male and female students should not mix which means they have to follow chastity and the hijab in their behavior which should not resemble the West”, he said.

According to the Science Minister, the High Cultural Revolution Council announced an act in 1987 which stipulates that girls and boys have to sit in two separate rows in classes…
“An amendment to this act stipulates that if there are no credential and educational problems, the classes of girls and boys should be held separately and this act has even mentioned the separation of camps for girls and boys”, Daneshju said. (Javan Online – Sep. 17, 2011)
