1IMPACT OF SINGLE-SEX AND CO-EDUCATION ON ACADEMICSEducation is important for any individual for surviving in the present-day competitiveWorld. The educational institutions for meeting out education on a variety of topics are of twotypes namely single-sex education centres and co-educational centres. The single-sex educationalcentres are the places where students of both genders, attend classes in different buildings orschools. This practice was frequent in the earlier times. The co-educational centres are thosewhere the boys and girls attend classes together. These centres have become common only afterthe twentieth century. There is a lot of contradiction on the issue of education with one sex or co-education being better than the other. According to studies it is believed that differentiating boysor girls by classrooms or institutions increases the accomplishment of the students and also theirinclination towards studies. Several studies have been conducted in order to estimate thedifferences of the concentration of the students in single-sex as well as co-educational centres(Pahlke, Hyde & Allison, 2014).Related to the single sex education there are researches which show that it is a beneficialeducational format with benefits ranging from confidence and empowerment to newer andinnovative activities as well as better achievement levels for those boys and girls who areeducated in single-sex education institutions compared to the co-educational centres. The majorbenefits are discussed as follows: There is a more relaxed environment in the institutions withsingle-sex education. Despite being academically strong the boys and girls have a more betteroperational and better study environment where they do not have to worry about the reactions ofthe other gender. The students are more open towards taking risks in these situations as they donot have to worry about failing in front of the other sex. In single sex education schools teachersdo not have to beg their students for participating in class discussions (Jackson, 2012).
