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.
