Montfort Junior School, located in Hougang, Singapore, will transition to coeducation starting in 2028, allowing female students to enroll alongside male students. This decision, announced by Lim Boon Heng, chairman of St Gabriel’s Foundation, aligns with modern educational practices and reflects the changing demographics of Singapore. The first group of girls will be admitted through the 2027 Primary 1 registration, with priority given to younger sisters of current students and daughters of alumni. Lim emphasized that the segregation of genders in education is outdated, stating, 'Segregating boys and girls is actually an artificial means of conducting education.' The move aims to accommodate the preferences of young parents who increasingly favor coeducational settings for logistical convenience. Montfort Junior School has a history of discussions regarding coeducation, dating back to 2019, and will serve as a model for other schools under the foundation, including St Gabriel's schools, which are also considering similar changes. Lim acknowledged that while some alumni may feel nostalgic about the school's all-boys status, many recognize the practical benefits of this decision.
