Educating boys and girls together has always been an important and stressful issue. Many parents believe
that the educational process can be more effective if the classes are divided according to the gender of
the students. Although same-sex schools are considered too conservative and strict in today’s times.
Nevertheless, there are still supporters of this manner of education. Some parents are not in favor of a
co-educational system as they feel that the presence of the opposite gender distracts the attention of
students and prevents them from concentrating on studies.
On the other hand, supporters of co-education feel that as boys and girls are different, it is a valuable
experience for both genders to communicate with each other. Moreover, the earlier boys and girls begin
to communicate, the sooner they acquire social skills, which are crucial to communicating freely in the
world. Further, if there are girls in the class, boys may well possibly try to behave better in order not to
lose face in front of the girls.
Apart from all that has been mentioned above, educating boys and girls together helps them understand
and mutually respect each other from an early stage in life. This can possibly help in building a generation
that doesn’t suffer from gender bias and is open to a healthy competition even between the two genders.
