Single Sexed School and Co Educated Schools

Single sexed schools and co-educated schools hold great value, but it can be argued that single sexed schools are better than co-educated schools in terms of the different learning styles of girls and boys. Both genders learn differently and if they are not provided the best opportunity to learn well, then they may not be able to excel to their full ability.

Therefore, the teaching styles of single sexed schools are better than those of co-educated schools.

Single sexed schools are better than co-educated schools because they have teachers adapted to teach in a style that can educate the students, resulting in higher marks. Single sexed schools understand the differences between the two genders and have the sexes separated in the schools to enhance learning performance. Researchers have shown that the two genderss brains work differently, with boys developing physical activity levels and self-control later than girls, while girls tend to show stronger verbal skills and demonstrate empathy more readily than boys. This means that there is a higher chance that boys would be more active in the classroom resulting in a lot of hands on work and thinking for themselves, while girls show strengths using words verbally and in writing. This may cause learning through verbal discussions and writing things down making it easier and more affective for educating females. These techniques have been used in single sexed schools and have caused great outcomes, with 62% of women graduating from single-sexed schools and only 42% of co-educated students becoming graduates. Thus the adaption of the different learning styles in single sexed schools...
