Question

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
