英國威廉王子夫婦或打破傳統 送小喬治上男女混校

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge could be set to break with royal tradition and send their son Prince George to a co-educational school like Brighton College when he's completed his primary education at Thomas's Battersea.

劍橋公爵夫婦或將打破王室傳統，在兒子喬治王子在托馬斯巴特西學校讀完小學後，將他送到一所類似布萊頓公學的男女混校的學校上學。

This would mean George following in the footsteps of his mother Kate who attended co-educational boarding school Marlborough College, rather than his father William and uncle Harry who both attended the prestigious boys-only Eton.

這或將意味着喬治會跟隨曾就讀男女混合寄宿制學校馬爾伯勒中學的母親凱特的腳步，而不會像父親威廉和叔叔哈里一樣去著名的男校伊頓公學讀書。

It is reported that the most popular choice of senior education in recent years for Thomas's finishers has been Brighton College.

據報道，布萊頓公學是近年來托馬斯學校畢業生首選的中學。

The headmaster of Brighton College said that it would be "groundbreaking" for the royals to make such a decision.

布萊頓公學的校長稱，王室成員作出這樣的決定將具有開創性意義。

He added that it reflected the feeling of modern parents who feel increasingly strongly that segregating their sons from their daughters is unnatural and not obvious preparation for a world where women and men are equal partners at work.

他還表示，這反映出現代父母的一種感受：他們越來越強烈地意識到將男孩和女孩隔離開來很反常，且顯然不利於孩子爲進入男女在職場上是平等夥伴的世界做準備。

Brighton College is passionate about equality, and last year introduced a "trouser uniform" and a "skirt uniform" for pupils up to age 16.

布萊頓公學熱衷於男女平等，並在去年爲16歲的學生推出了一套“褲裝校服”和一套“裙裝校服”。
