Topic :mixed-gender school VSseparate school
Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools.
Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Give reasons for your answer and
include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.
Throughout the history, there has always been a gender gap. Only in recent years have we started “breaking the walls” between genders. Even so, it is still a hot topic whether there should be mixed schools or not. From my perspective, boys and girls have much to learn from each other. Therefore, they should learn together. In this essay, I am going to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of mixed-gender schools and single-gender schools.
To begin with, we live in a world full of different nationalities, races, genders and cultures. It is important for an individual to treat everyone around him with respect. That is why we need mixed-sex education. It will help children to understand each others’ uniqueness and provide them with opportunities to acquire interpersonal skills.
On the flip side, single-sex schools will focus on gender-specific activities like knitting or cooking for girls and mechanics, electronics and carpentry for boys. Consequently, graduates from this type of institutions will have greater skills and knowledge in those activities. For instance, a girl who learned cooking or designing at school can easily become a professional cook or designer when she grows up.
To recapitulate, both types of educational systems have their advantages and disadvantages. Mixed-gender institutions tend to prepare their graduates to the real world situations better than single-gender schools. It is essential to remember that every successful person should know how to interact with different categories of people. This skill can be only obtained from a diverse environment such as mixed-gender schools.
