Why coed is better




















Co-education provides a more realistic way of training young people to take their places naturally in the wider community of men and women: it helps to break down gender misconceptions and provides an excellent foundation for the development of realistic, meaningful and lasting relationships in later life. It also introduces students to both male and female role models, and leaves them with a wider, more diverse network of friends. Co-education results in young adults who are open minded, well-rounded, and willing to step outside of their comfort zone.

Teaches Equality With both male and female students attending classes together and participating in class activities, these students will be able to learn about equality between men and women. As opposed to single-sex schools, coed schools treat students equally with no preference to sex, thus, when assignments are given, there are no special treatments and students are graded and evaluated on their performance and not on gender.

Promotes Socialization Some people who were not educated in coed schools often find it hard to socialize with the opposite sex since they are not used to interacting and talking to members of the opposite sex.

Conversely, students enrolled in mixed classrooms experience being with members of the opposite sex and become familiar with existing with them.

The familiarity will teach them about co-existence and at the same time prepare them when they get out of school where they will have to deal with different kinds of people. Prepares Students for the Real World Another advantage of co-educational schools is that students are exposed to a normal environment in the sense that society is composed of both men and women. If they are taught and motivated to interact with both sexes, they can use this skill when they graduate in college and be in the real world where men and women co-exist, especially at work.

Improves Communication Skills If a student is studying in a school or university with members of the opposite sex, he or she will be exposed to men and women as well as communicate with them. Since both genders have different ways of expressing themselves, studying in coed schools can help an individual with communication skills. Challenges Sexism A school with mixed students offer an environment that gives men and women the chance to express themselves and share their views which will teach boys and girls about equality when it comes to sexes.
