The document discusses co-education, which is defined as the education of two genders in the same school, college or university. It was first introduced in Switzerland and has become popular in Europe and America, with Asian countries now also adopting this system. Supporters of co-education cite economical and sociological factors, arguing that it eliminates gender discrimination, allows open expression of views, and reduces costs compared to maintaining separate boys' and girls' schools. However, some criticize co-education as being against tradition and fear it could lead to immoral relationships. The document also discusses perspectives on co-education from Islam and quotes from a Greek philosopher in its favor.
