KoedukationCoeducation, the joint education of boys and girls, which has been the rule in Austrian schools since 1976. The separation of the sexes in education, ordered in the 16th century, was soon circumvented for organisational reasons (in rural areas it was not usual from 1869 onward) and was only maintained where the curriculum (e.g. special subjects or school types for girls) made it necessary. In Austria today, all names of school types and curricula are so formulated as not to refer to any specific sex.
