Abstract	In this article the author discusses that, at the end of World War II, German educational administrators in the Soviet occupied zone of their nation decided to implement coeducation; that is, the schooling of girls and boys in the same classroom. This policy represents a radical break with German educational traditions, as well as with the western German zones' continued practice of gender-segregated schools. And the reason for this move is for the educational reformers of the Soviet zone to commit to a new kind of school, one that offer all children the same education in order to permit active and equal participation of all citizens, male and female, in the "new Germany."
