Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The competition between children has reached unprecedented levels, as most parents are starting to train their sons and daughters shortly after they are born to nurture their talents. Due to

this

reason, choosing schools for their children to

enroll

register formally as a participant or member

enrol

into has become a pressing matter for many parents, and

thus

started a debate about whether separate schools or mixed schools are more beneficial to boys and girls. Single-sex schools may allow students to concentrate on their studies more as distractions

such

as forays into romantic relationships and the gossiping that accompanies gatherings of different genders can be mostly avoided.

For example

, separate schools in Hong Kong have shown to be generally better than their mixed counterparts in terms of results in examinations

such

as the DSE and A-LEVEL.

However

, mixed schools may provide benefits to students that cannot be offered by sheer academic brilliance.

Education

Suggestion

The education

offered by mixed schools provide more opportunities for boys and girls to mingle and communicate with each other, allowing them to gain valuable experience in dealing with the opposite sex in future occasions. As schools should be a miniature of

society

to provide students a watered down experience of taking part in a community, mixed schools provide a more accurate representation of real life

society

to better equip students to deal with situations that arise in daily life after graduation,

such

as how to conduct yourself when interacting with the opposite sex.

Although

both education methods have their own merits, I believe that it is better to educate boys and girls in mixed schools. There

are

Suggestion

is

a multitude of factors that may distract students from their studies, so the fear of affecting the studies of a student if they

enroll

register formally as a participant or member

enrol

into

Suggestion

in

a mixed school is overblown.

Moreover

, schools are not

only institutions

Suggestion

the only institutions

that exist solely to churn out students who are only brilliant academically. Schools should provide students a taste of being a part of a community to prepare them for entering

society

after graduation, as students who are only academically bright may not have the necessary interpersonal skills to survive in a cutthroat

society

where the ability to mingle with others is indispensable.

Hence

, I believe that it is more beneficial to educate boys and girls in mixed schools.
