On Wednesday morning let Reitan out a picture of the activity plan to SFO for Steindal school on social media, entitled: “Your child comes home from SFO with this plan in the sack. How would you react? “.

As stated in the application for SFO is the huge difference in prices for male and female group.

the boys will have activities, speed and fun.

the girls are going to make bracelets, penal and soap and have neglespa.

Reitan, who studied special education, the deputy for the Liberal Party in the City council of Trondheim and deputy in adolescence committee of the municipality, hardly believed his own eyes.

– The memories of conditions for many tens of years ago. I hope the it is done with the best intentions, but we can not have such an attitude in a public school. We can not divide the sexes and reinforce stereotypes in this way, she said.

The principal of Steindal school says it is the students themselves who have chosen this.

– The girls called for some quieter activities and boys have wanted more physical activities. It was such offer arose. This is an offer that students have looked forward to and that have been popular, says Rector Kristin By Vollset by Steindal school Adresseavisa.

Reitan has sent a letter to the mayor Rita Ottervik (Ap) about what can be done to prevent gender segregation and reinforcement of stereotypes at schools in Trondheim.

But the mayor has already taken action.

– this is a practice that the presidency both in February and in 2014 ruled that we should not have in Trondheim schools. Therefore, Councillor informed all principals that those who have such practices, must liquidate it, said Mayor Rita Ottervik NRK.

– Gender Cliches 50s

Sociologist and gender researcher Agnes Bolsø NTNU says the gendered SFO plan reminds her 50s strict gender segregation.

– This is reminiscent of biblical and religious regulations for what women can and can not, and to science in the 1800s who said that women did not have brains to work outside the home. There were gender clichés that got boomed in the ’50s, says Bolsø.

Have received tremendous response

Reitan says that she has gotten tremendously many reactions throughout the day, also from parents have children at the school.

– It’s taken completely off, much more than I could imagine. But it’s good that people are concerned about equality. It is completely unnecessary to divide by gender in this way today. With so much attention to the case, I hope the school does about this, she said.

It may not principal love, but insists that they are going to look into the matter.

– We will evaluate the offer and consider whether we can do something different, says Vollset.
