Co-educational boarding schools have several advantages over single sex schools. At some point of time in their lives boys & girls need to learn to work together. It’s good preparation for the real world.
Both boys and girls in co-educational schools become aware of each other’s abilities. Girls and boys at a self conscious age take extra care of themselves. Growing up together and sharing activities such as dramatics, art and other things like socials, widen the students talents and a healthy atmosphere pervades in all co-educational schools.
Co-educational schools better prepare students to eventually enter the workforce and these students are highly motivated to succeed in post secondary education.
The spirit of co-operation that grows between boys and girls in a co-education institution makes it easier later on to adjust in a mixed society.
In a Canadian survey it has been found that despite a traditional viewpoint that students are distracted by their opposite sex peers and that boys, in particular are less focused in class, the data suggests that boys in co-educational schools are as engaged as their single-sex counterparts and relate equally to examples used by their teachers. Girls in co-educational institutions reported being academically engaged and participated freely in class discussions.
