Kindergartens ban unisex bathrooms
( 2003-11-05 17:06) (China Daily)
Guangdong is requiring kindergartens to provide separate boys' and girls'
bathrooms in a new sanitation checklist drafted by the health and education
authority, reports Yangcheng Evening News.
Many kindergartens have only one bathroom because the teachers, who accompany
children to the toilet, are all women.
But an increasing number of parents have protested the practice, saying it
confuses the gender-conscious children.
Kindergartens will lose points, which may lead to suspension or even loss of
licence, if they are found to make boys and girls use the same bathroom,
according to the regulation.
