Dear Godwin Jejeti , I completed my schooling in mixed coeducational schools. I like the situation very much.
Obviously coeducation school is better. Men and Women can not live in a society separately. In every step they have to work together. Nowadays women are in every work field. The mutual understanding and the ability to work together are very important and these things can't be achieved easily at a later age.
How to work with a opposite sex partner, should be learnt at the early age. If we see one example of Indian co-educational school where boys used to bring woods from the forest and the girls used to cook foods. This ability to divide the work among the co-workers and keeping a mutual understanding, will help the children to prosper in their later life, both at the work ground and the social gathering.
Single-six schools
- A More Relaxed Environment
- Fewer Cliques
- A More Tailored Curriculum
- The Loss of Gender Stereotypes
I am personally for mixed schools having been from a boys only secondary school. Students must grow up in an environment that is representative of the society that they will live in

Mixed gender schools promote wholesome qualities and deepens gender relations.
Yes I agree with Dr Beemnet and Dr Dickson. I feel as if these answers have been written by me.
Mixed !!! students are students , to be guided all the time....
to other people, single-sex education seems like plain old common sense: They see differences between boys and girls, and they like the idea of creating schools that reflect these differences. Still others look at the failure of U.S. public-school systems and think, “we’ve got to do something; let’s give it a try.” Since the 1990s, there has been a resurgence of interest in single-sex education in public schools serving students in grades K-12. My book takes a look at the arguments driving interest in single-sex public education, as well as the results. What I have found is that single-sex public-school initiatives have been created with the best of intentions, but that they are not delivering the results. At the same time, they are producing some unintended consequences in terms of reinforcing damaging gender stereotypes.

The right school
Maybe the question should be not about the gender cohort of the school but about the character and ethos of the school. “In my view, belonging is the thing that matters most when you’re thinking about choosing a school for your child,” says Sarah Thomas.
Elizabeth Hewer, headmistress of St George’s Ascot, agrees. “Schools are all remarkably similar in some respects: we all teach maths, we all teach English, we all do sports, we all do music, we all do drama. You will read many websites that say ‘we educate the whole child, it’s about an all-round education’, and I’m sure that parents see many of these mantras time and time again. And therefore I think that what is most important for parents is identifying what makes each school different.
“One of the things that we are is an all-girls school. And that goes some way to explaining and describing the environment in which we are, but of course it’s one of many things, and it can be quite dangerous and misleading to group schools into single sex and coed.”
“I don’t like that pink brain/blue brain stuff at all,” Sarah Thomas says. “If you believe it, girls have to be taught maths and science very slowly, and boys have to be taught everything using a megaphone. So you can believe that if you want, or we can talk about what matters, the individuals.
“I think the point is that it’s all about belonging and where your child feels comfortable – and where you, too, feel comfortable with how your child is learning and growing. I would not get caught up in the single-sex-or-coed farrago of nonsense! I would simply look at good schools and then see which is the one that fits your child.”
Until the end of the 18th century, single-sex education was commonplace around the world. During the 19th century, more and more coeducational schools were set up.
In many countries, single-sex education has almost vanished, but there are some countries, such as the UK, where it is still a viable option, depending on where you live.
In other countries, particularly in Asia, single-sex education has prospered as the result of religious and cultural beliefs rather than the idea that students perform better if the sexes are segregated.
Most educational experts agree that boys and girls have different learning needs. “Girls and boys mature at different rates, so, in a learning environment, it makes sense to give both girls and boys what they need at each varying stage in their development,” explains Antonia Beary, headmistress of Mayfield, a girls’ independent day and boarding school in East Sussex.
“Does one size fit all?” asks Ms Beary. “I don’t think so. It is a generalisation, but one with much truth: girls and boys predominantly learn in different ways – not better, not worse, but differently. We ought to be celebrating these differences and the complementary nature of different genders, not trying to pretend that everyone is the same and requires the same challenges and support.”
“It’s a truism, but most girls don’t like making mistakes, and education is about learning from mistakes. In fact, neurological research confirms that it hurts more to make mistakes and take risks if you are a girl, so it stands to reason that, to help girls learn, they need encouragement to make mistakes and take those risks.
“Most boys don’t need the same reassurance; they need help in other areas. Single-sex education allows teachers to create environments where girls feel confident in taking risks. It doesn’t mean girls are cosseted and wrapped in cotton wool, but that their confidence and individuality are nurtured.
“Girls don’t have to have boys present 24/7 to be able to engage as equals – far from it. They benefit from space to learn about themselves and become independent, aspirational, assured young women who expect to forge strong relationships based on mutual respect, not stereotypes. It’s all about informed choice.”
However, it’s important not to confuse the grown-up world with the world of a teenager. “I think what is important when we think about the big, wide adult world being coed is that 13-, 14- and 15-year-olds are in a very different world that is not necessarily real life,” says Elizabeth Hewer, headmistress of St George’s Ascot, an all-girls day and boarding school in Berkshire.
Against the idea of separating students from female students in schools
Co ed schools are definitely better as they allow both genders to mix, interact and generally grow up together without any complexes or inhibitions. I have seen students not from co ed schools being very differently behaving in coed environment. They take time and efforts to mix with the other gender!
Single sex is unnatural and is a waste of resources. We had a queen ruling Iraq in 2450 BC!
To prevent students from developing gender relationship leading to sex.
Single schools - less distractions so that students can completely focus on their studies.
