4. Introduction
 Mixed-sex education, also known as mixed-gender education, co-
education or coeducation (abbreviated to co-ed or coed), is a system
of education where males and females are educated together.
 In ancient times, co-education was started in Greece. Today, this system of
education is there in almost all the countries of the world.
 It is economical. It generates a spirit of comradeship between boys and
girls.

5. Co-Education in modern world
 Co-education is a modern concept. It was first introduced in Switzerland
but later on it spread to other countries as well. In our country, it is
popular only in professional institutions.
 The interaction between boys and girls at this age helps in their practical
life later on. Co-education also produces a healthy competition. The boys
become more civilized and polished in the presence of girls. The girls also
stand to gain something in the presence of boys.

6. But what actual role does co-education play in the
lives of the students?
 Co-educational schools better reflect the diversity of our society and
they better prepare students to succeed in post-Secondary education
and to eventually enter the workforce.
 In a co-educational learning environment, students are exposed to both
male and female role models in staff and senior students.

7. Economical Perspective
 There are a number of advantages in the co-educational system of
education. It is economical. Poor countries cannot afford to open
separate schools for boys and girls.
 If boys and girls are taught together in the same school, then there will
be no need to open separate schools for them. Thus, the cost to be
incurred on building infrastructure, furniture, stationery, personnel
recruitment, etc. will be saved.

8. Co-education in Pakistan..?
 It is considered to be the highly recommended system for modern
education. In Pakistan, this modernized educational system is adopted by
some of the English medium private schools.
 Till the present day. Co-education has always remained a controversial
issue in Pakistan. A large number of populations is strictly against this
system.

9. CO-EDUCATION – GOOD OR BAD
 First of all, I would like to highlight this issue from religious
perspective. Islam is the only religion which gave so many rights to
women. Amongst them one was that education was made compulsory
for women. Where on one hand Islam tells men and women to seek
education, at the same very time it condemns both men and women.
 Women should get education but remaining within constraints of religion.
They should go to colleges, universities but not without “Hijab”. The
standard of modernization should not be measured with limited clothes
