As people grow more and more experienced and knowledgeable, they tend to explore on new ideas. Since the world of today is a modernized one, people living on earth are being creative to help and make life easier. In a modernized world, there are many problems, and one of them is education. “Education is the key to success” is really a nice motto because everything in the universe is concepts, and as human-beings, they need these ideas to understand more about things. So a little mistake in teaching these concepts means a lot.


People suggest co-education and single-sex education because they think they think specifically one helps boys and girls develop their potentials to the fullest. As a solution to bring better education to both boys and girls, they should attend the same school. The writer prefers co-education instead of single-sex education because most schools today are organized this way, but that is not the only reason, there are more reasons.


Co-education is a style of education that allows boys and girls to study in the same school. In this type of education, boys and girls are equal in terms of treatment because teachers do not biased one gender for another. It is being applied to majority of the schools today basically the schools believe that co-education is better than single-sex education.


In a 1998 survey from the American Association of University Women, report noted “boys and girls both thrive when the elements of good education are there, elements like smaller classes, focused academic curriculum and gender-fair instruction” (debate+ boys and girls should attend separate schools”). In co-education boys and girls influence each other in behaviours and maturity-specifically more on girls influencing boys because girls are more matured and responsible when they are at the same age (“debate+ boys and girls should attend separate schools”). Boys and girls are enhanced better if they have competitiveness in them, hence since co-education could bring this era of competition, this type of education could help them improve academically.


Co-education is better than single- sex education because it lessens the probability of having sexism as an issue to the society (the writer’s view). Since sexism is a major problem today, as much as possible it must be contained. In co-education students have a better chance of learning the differences of both genders because in single-sex education, the interaction of boys and girls are not much. In nature, God created not just Adam nor just Eve, but Adam and Eve because God knows they can live together, improve one another and complement one another. As in reality the same goes because girls need boys and boys need girls to stay the best they can.
Single-sex education is good in some cases but co-education is still better although single-sex education has some points. In single-sex education, the students do not need to mind other gender to pressure them. It gives one gender the full identity because one gender can fully express what they like most without pressure from another gender.


Co-education is really better than the single-sex education (the writer’s view) because both genders influence each other. Boys and girls can learn better because both genders can be contagious in studies and in this way, they can do better together. It also prevents sexism because it gives boys and girls spaces to really communicate, and this really lessens the probability of sexism being built at early stages.
