Co education in Pakistan

                                      Co education in Pakistan

Coeducation means the education of boys and girls in the same schools, colleges or universities. This is a modern concept and it has made a remarkable rapid progress. Co education was first introduced in Switzerland but now a day it is most popular in all over the world. Pakistan is now adopting this type of education system. There are some thoughts about co education in Pakistan.

1.       As Pakistan is a poor country and in under development and cannot open separate schools and colleges both for the boys and girls.

2.       There is a great dearth of skilled teachers on technical subjects in our country. That is why it is desirable to educate the boys and girls in the same institution.

3.       The boys become more civilized and polished in the presence of girls. The girls also stand to gain something in the presence of boys.

4.       The supporters of co-education say that if boys and girls are educated together, they will develop in them a sort of mutual understanding. This understanding will be helpful

          There are also some disadvantages of co education

1.       The boys and girls might waste their time in activities unrelated to their studies.

2.       The youth is characterized by irresponsibility and immaturity.

So we can say that this is false economy to teach them in the same institution but the coin has always two sides. In fact it all depends upon the values of the region where one lives.
