Everyone should do their part to share housework, and should know how to get the basic life skills. However, in some parts of the world, housework are still seen as something that only women do while some men refuse to do. Some of them are even unable to do it when needed.
A school in Spain is introducing special classes that teaches boys and young men basic life skills, including cleaning, cooking, and even sewing. These classes are expected to prepare the boys for housework which is usually done by women.
Tony from the school believes this will help the young boys become better. "It seems very useful for our students to learn to perform these skills and we can know how to create a home peacefully in the future. "Tony said. The classes are taught by some volunteers from college . It's interesting that even the fathers of the students help out and learn some new skills from the lessons themselves.
According to Tony, the classes are introduced to encourage gender equality(性别平等) and make boys more independent and able to help out at home. Luckily, we have got some good news. Tony says that the boys enjoy learning new things. He even points out that it is the first time for some boys to use an iron(熨斗). And it is such a fun and educational experience for everyone, according to him.
Not surprisingly, people hope that more schools will follow the school to encourage gender equality.
