The answer

It is not permissible for a woman to work as a teacher for boys in the secondary stage, because students at this stage are usually adolescents, and the nature of teaching necessitates interaction. It is not permissible for a woman to interact with men, due to the Almighty's saying: "And when you ask them for something, ask them from behind a screen."
