In a lot of countries co-education is provided to students, but it is believed by some that boys and girls should not be schooled together. I totally disagree with statement because when children are brought up in uni-sex school system, they are more prone to confidence issues and they are most likely to have prejudice against the opposite gender. Conversely, those students, who have gone through mixed education system are better at communicating with their counter sex and they are more likely to understand each other at later stages of life.
Firstly, confidence related problems are very common in students that have not been educated in mixed schools. When they are given an oppurtunity to talk with their peers they are not able to communicate easily. The lack of interaction in a segregated environment limits their ability to interact in a mixed environment. That lack of ability to communicate is translated into their demeanor and they are preceived as under confdent. Moreover, separately schooled students have prejudice against each other. The alienation from others sex in young age makes them believe in stereotypes that are not true. For example, the boys that have been taught in all boys schools think that girls are less intelligent and the girls that have gone through uni-sex education deem boys as ruthless.
On the other hand, they mixed schooling help the students to be better at communication. Since childhood, they have been given the oppurtunity to communicate. These children learn the social cues of opposite gender much better, thus, communication with opposite gender does not bother them. Additonally, these students has improved ability to understand their counter parts is way better because they have spent a major part of their childhood in their opposite sex people. They do not divide themselves in the division of sexes but deal as a fellow human being.
In conclusion, single sex schools should not be seen as beneficial due to numerous disdvantages of uni-sex schooling such as problems with confidence and enimity for eachother. Meanwhile, mix education provides students that are better rehearsed to communicate and understand eachother.
