“Is Co-education
important”
WHAT IS CO-EDUCATION?
Co education means the teaching of both boys and
girls in the same school and under the same roof.
It means imparting the same education to both
the gender without any division. This system of
education aims at bringing boys and girls
together. It allows free mixing of sexes without
any hang up.
History of co-education
 Philosopher plato had propagated the
system of co education.
 In ancient India also there was no
segregation between boys and girls in
Aryans society.
ADVANTAGES OF CO-
EDUCATION
 The first advantage is that if
boys and girls are taught
together there will not be any
need for opening separate
schools for boys and girls.
It will create a sense
of healthy
competition among
boys and girls.
Secondly, boys and girls
have to live together in the
society in their later
lives,the girls will not feel
shy in the presence of boys
It is also a common
experience that the
boys behave decently in
the company of girls.

But due care must be taken at high school and inter-classes where lot of physical and
mental changes take place naturally in children. Students must be guided properly to avoid
their going astray.

In this way the inferiority complex of girls was removed and they started to have the
feeling of being equal to the boys.

Take the example of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, who in the world could ever think that females
will enter politics but she proved her worth and at last became the Prime Minister of India.

Kiran Bedi who took the highest post in the Police.

We should not believe in the morality of the medieval ages. The world is changing fast today and women are being given an equal status with men in the
society. Let us, therefore accept the changing order and open more and more co-educational institutions in future and say good bye to separate institutions.
