Co-education




Coeducation is the integrated education of males and females at the same school.
Co-ed is a shortened adjectival form of co-educational, and the word co-ed is sometimes also used, in the United States, as a noun to refer to a female college student.
Most colleges and Private Schools in Oman are mixed with boys and girls. As we know co-education has some advantages and disadvantages. Some advantages are: Co education helps students to understand differences between men and women from their perspective. Also it promises intellectual well being and builds confidence in a person and makes him\her a more complete person to live in the real world. I think Co education is better for student's academic performance, social development and adjustment.On the other hand co-education has a lot of disadvantages for example: in co-education system boys and girls mix together, which is not Islamic in nature. Also girls do not feel free and comfortable in the class room (I think boys too). May be boy's behavior is different than girl's behavior causing some friction.

Private Schools

Nowdays private schools are common in Oman,The majority are managed by and run for English-speaking. Many local families choose to send their children to these schools, perhaps in the belief that the tuition will be better and also because of the international importance of the English language. The vast majority of private schools teach in English, including the Indian and Pakistani schools. send their children to international schools, at which the main teaching language is English.

Most private schools are co-educational and provide tuition to children from pre-school nursery groups through to university entrance examinations.

The cost of private education can be high, but in some cases the fees are paid by your employer as part of your contract. It’s vitally important to be aware of the cost of private schooling over the course of a child’s education, particularly if this will include university. What might begin as a manageable expense can quickly become a major financial encumbrance if there are regular increases in fees, as there often are.
