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.

A number of people argue that it is better for

boys

and

girls

to get an education from different

schools

,

while

others believe that it is more beneficial for

children

if they attend combined

schools

.

Although

studying in separate

schools

will help

boys

and

girls

to focus more on their

studies

, I believe learning from co-educational institutions will help them to become more social in society. On the one hand, when

boys

and

girls

attend separate

schools

, they will spend more time focusing on their

studies

.

This

is because there will not be any opposite gender to be attracted to and to get involved in any affairs. The schooling hours will be fully utilised to learn something rather than being diverted from

studies

and spending time with the ones they might have affairs with within the

school

.

For example

, in Nepal, students from St. Mary’s

Girls

School

showed better academic performance than the

girls

who completed their

school

years at a co-educational institution.

However

, I believe that

children

attending mixed

school

will learn to be more social in the future.

On the other hand

, co-education is more beneficial for

children

because they will learn some social skills during their

school

years.

This

is to say that

children

of both genders will be allowed to have combined

studies

and will learn how to deal politely with a person of the opposite sex, an important skill which is highly accepted by society.

For example

,

boys

who finished their

studies

at co-educational

schools

showed more courtesy towards ladies by offering some help when required.

For

this

reason, it is better for

children

to attend mixed

schools

as it helps them to learn essential social skills. In conclusion,

although

educating

children

in separate

schools

will help them to focus on their

studies

, I believe that co-education is much better for

girls

and

boys

as they will learn essential social skills in

school

.
