    This document discusses the debate around whether single-sex schools or coeducational schools are better. It notes that proponents of single-sex schools argue they improve academic performance and provide a safer learning environment. However, coeducational schools allow students to develop social skills and self-confidence through interacting with the opposite sex, preparing them better for the real world. Research also shows students from coed schools tend to have stronger self-esteem and communication abilities. While separated sexes may feel more comfortable, data suggests academic performance can improve when classrooms have a mix of genders. Overall, the document argues that coeducational schools have more advantages than single-sex schools in helping students develop social skills, increase competitiveness,

    Is single-sex school really beneficial to one’s academic success or it will just negatively affect them?
    Should boys and girls be taught separately or a coeducational environment would be much better? Well, this
    debate was highly argued during the nineteenth century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s.In fact, the
    dispute over whether co-ed schools are better than single-sex schools focuses on which of the two types of
    schools provides a more suitable environment for learners to learn and grow holistically. Consequently,
    Proponents of single gender education claim that both boys and girls should attend such schools due to the
    benefits they gain from them such as academic performance improvement, as well as a better learning and
    safer environment. However, it is true that unmixed schools are good but they are definitely not the best
    choice, especially when it comes to social skills development, competition and academic success as well.
    Some people who were not educated in co-ed schools often find it hard to socialize with and interact
    with the opposite sex. In mixed sex schools, on the other hand, girls and boys learn and interact together.
    This interaction and familiarity gives the students an opportunity to develop self-esteem, self-confidence.
    Interacting with the people of opposite sex gives one courage to interact before any group of people and get
    rid of shyness. This fact, again, is supported by studies in social sciences, a research has shown that a person
    who learnt in a mixed-sex school or environment tends to have a stronger self esteem and better
    communication skills than those who studied in single sex. Another evidence was made by Richard Fabes, a
    professor and director of the School of Social and Family Dynamics and ACCES director of operations,that
    unless both sexes learn to deal with each other,they will struggle in the real world where men and women
    co-exist, especially at work.
    Another major advantage of a co-ed school is that it offers the learner a healthy learning environment
    (sparks,S.D,15) in which both sexes challenge each other to improve their studies. Automatically, boys will
    do all their best to perform better than girls, and girls will also try very hard to outshine the boys in their
    academic performance. Besides, the results of an educational experiment concerning this point contrast with
    the idea which has suggested that girls in single-sex schools are more competitive than their co-ed
    counterparts(ALL-GIRLS SCHOOLS DON'T MAKE GIRLS MORE COMPETITIVE;2014).
    Opponents of mixed schools claim that when the two genders are separated , they are more likely to perform better
    as they are more comfortable .Well,this can be partially true but it is still inaccurate as it is not applied on all learners
    ,using data from the 2009 Program for International Student Assessment.“boys can significantly improve their scores
    when their classroom composition is 60% or higher for the opposite gender. The scores are higher for girls in this
    structure as well”,said Margriet van Hek, who works as a sociologist at Utrecht University.

    In sum, , mixed schools would be a better choice than the unmixed ones as they help the to create a strong social
    personality, to improve competiveness and to succeed academically . Although there are some disadvantages to the
    co-ed education system when compared to the single-sex education system, its advantages greatly exceed the
    negatives. Learners need to be aware that we are living in a competitive zone. Understanding the similarities and
    differences that exist between each individual will make it easier to form relationships ,challenge others and find
    moments of success.
