ABOUT
We all have studied how women did not get to enjoy the same rights that men did. Co-education was not even a common term back in the day. In many areas worldwide, girls were not sent to school as they were believed to be the 'home-makers. In ancient times, one of the countries that practiced co-education was Greece. If we look at our mythology, it can be known that women were treated with great respect during the Vedic period and were allowed to study together with men. But gradually there was a decline in the education of girls. But in this modern age, we can find an enormous number of co-ed schools. Co-education means that girls and boys are taught together under the same roof. This would not only give equal rights to both men and women, but it will also help them respect each other's genders more. In simple terms, co-education eliminates gender inequality and builds a much healthier competitive environment.
Benefits of a Co-ed School
As mentioned above, co-education helps build a competitive environment among peers and helps in decreasing gender inequality. But there are more things that co-education does better than same-sex schools.
- Co-education teaches both the genders to learn how to co-exist together and respect each other by allowing them to communicate daily.
- Co-education helps to build the base for nourishing self-esteem in individuals.
- When the children learn to respect each other and understand each other, they will become better humans. Hence, co-education plays an integral part in character building.
- There are fewer chances of sex discrimination, and the kids will learn to respect the other gender.
