A video of male and female students seated in a classroom in Maharashtra with a makeshift partition in between, is being falsely shared as Kerala.
The Claim: Video shows Muslim male and female students separated by a partition in a classroom in Kerala
The video is being shared on X with the caption, "For Muslims, co-education should be stopped, and this kind of education system should be implemented throughout India. Salute to Kerala for taking this bold step for Muslim boys and girls."

The bio of the account mentions, "Director Of MOS Academy Nanded #education". MOS Academy is a coaching institute in Nanded, Maharashtra, that offers coaching for Maharashtra board subjects like Physics and Maths, and for NEET, MHT-CET, JEE, and other entrance exams.
Additionally, we also found other videos from the same classroom with the same setup with a partition dividing the seating arrangement of male and female students.
