Co-Education (mixed education ) advantages & disadvantages

 Co-education:

Co-education means educating the boys and girls in the same institution it is a modern concept it was first introduced in Switzerland but later on, it became very popular in every country it was adopted by other countries of the best like Germany France Canada Russia and America in the Astral countries this concept of co-education is making headway slowly in our country it is popular only in an educational institution.

 There exist two schools of thought to differ sharply in their views about co-education.

 One group of people famous for education includes the people who have been educated in the Western tradition the put forward the following points.

This that we should adopt for education in our schools and colleges because our country is poor and underdeveloped we cannot open separate schools and colleges separately both for the boys and they are this difficulty becomes very great in case of Vocational and Technical Institutions it is very difficult for the government to open separate occasional colleges both for the boys and girls and equip them with the necessary scientific apparatus and Library.

Second, there is a great death of skilled teachers on technical subjects in our country which is why it is desirable to educate boys and girls in the same institution.

Third, there is  another advantage of the co-education of boys and girls has to play an important part in their practical life in the national progress of the country they begin to have an understanding of each other at the college level for education also produced both the healthy competition in their studies.

The boys also become more civilized and polished in the presence of girls. They try to approach the girls like a sensible and civilized human being the girls also stand to gain something in the presence of a boy a mystery seems to separate round both the sexes if they are kept separated from each other if they are allowed to mix It is bound to produce in them a spirit of good will trust and mutual understanding

Co-Education has its disadvantages

First, in a hot country like Pakistan co-education make the boys and girls alive to sex matters the boys begin to run after girls the girls also feel proud of their boyfriends does thus this tendency make them neglect their studies moreover  the girls lose their feminine qualities they lose the feminine charm.

Second the period of growth is characterized by irresponsibility’s      and immaturity they fear that free mixing of both sexes will lead to terrible consequences.

This free contact will result in laxity of morals the youth of both the sexes will be corrupted by free mixing.

Colleges will be converted into romantic arbors Cupid will have free reins.

There would be Romeos and Juliet’s in the colleges.

Ugly scenes would be common occurrence chastity is the greatest ornament of women.

If they once lose it they lose their place in society permanently that is why our religion forbids the free mixing of men and women at any stage in life therefore it is false rationality to teach them in the same institution.

The boys and girls in our country have to play different roles in their life. The girl has to run her home man has to earn his living the courses taught to the girls should be different from those taught to boys. Coeducation does not encourage this tendency.

We should not introduce it at the university level because it has much harm

 However, we can continue it at the primary s age.
