Question

Topic writing on co-education

Answer 1

There was a time when it was believed that boys and girls should be taught in separate institutions. In ancient gurukuls, there were only boys who were given education them. In spite of this, women generally had good education.

several education commissions and committees were set up. They generally advocated co-education in schools up to 10+2 level and separate education for boys and girls at the university level till graduation.

This policy is now by and large being followed in our country. There is , however, co-education again at post-graduation level.

Some people believe the co –education should not be there. In their opinion this can lead to attrition between boys and girls and thus it can be of mutual benefit to both sexes. It can mean better discipline since in the presence of girls the boys will not talk irrelevantly or obscenely in the class.
