Single Sex vs Co-Ed Schools

Date: 24/01/07


Advantages: choice of both type of schools

Disadvantages: single sex schools provide better education

Since world war number of single sex schools have been declining in the UK.

Nowadays you will find rare single sex secondary schools. Ones that are still going are either religious schools, privately run schools or grammer schools.

Studies in Europe and America have indicated that single sex schools are outperforming mixed schools where both girls and boys attend.

In America Bush has been giving more money to single schools and now there are more single schools there than before Bush came in power.

Best known single school in England is Eton, It was founded by Henry V1 in 1440 and is privately funded. Privately funded schools in England are called Public schools.

I am not sure of studies that suggest better performances by single sex schools. Most of students in single sex schools come from better off families. Mixed sex schools accept students from council estates which the posh schools don't.

Education in England is biased. Those who can afford it send their children to good schools because many of the state run mixed schools are failures. Students from these schools have no chance with public schools or grammer schools that still exist in some counties.

Whereas mixed school makes both sexes learn about each other and thus improve living skills, majority of single sex schools provide better education.

If I was a parent and I had a bit of cash in the bank I would send my school to a public school.

The investment in education mostly pays off because your child will be guaranteed a good job. Reputations of schools matter a lot for top jobs.
