Australia: Elite school to fix gender gap

Story here. Excerpt:

'EXCLUSIVE Adelaide private school Pembroke is about to become even more so - particularly if you're a male.

The Kensington Park school has been granted a three-year exemption to anti-discrimination laws, allowing it to correct a gender imbalance within its junior ranks.

Boys will be turned away from Years 1 and 6, and girls will be turned away from Year 4.

The ruling by the Equal Opportunity Tribunal comes after the recent expiration of a previous similar exemption granted to the school in 2006.

According to evidence provided by the school to the Equal Opportunity Tribunal of SA, 61 per cent of Pembroke's 2010 enrolment for Year 1 and 6 will be boys, while Year 4 will be 60 per cent girls.'
