Co-Education

Co-education is a system in which both genders get an education under the same roof. It was first introduced in Switzerland, but now most countries adopted this form of education. Pakistan too adopted this system but it remained a controversial issue. In education, both boys and girls are taught in the same way. They say that this system is very useful. This would be very helpful to them in their future life. It would also be good for the progress of the country. Another argument is that coeducation would raise the standard of education because it will promote competition among boys and girls. The supporters of co-education talk of its benefits in such a manner as if it were the only road to heaven. A little thought would expose the hollowness of these arguments. Everyone who has visited even a couple of colleges and schools. Knows that all of our institutions are frightfully overcrowded. The girl’s schools and colleges too are overcrowded. Why is it one feels that one can understand fair sex only if one meets one’s neighbor’s daughter? The system of co-education will not raise the educational standard. The temptation of flirting is stronger them the urge of reading textbooks. Co-education will create many problems not only for the students but also for the teachers. Temptation does not distinguish between the students and the teachers. Temptation does not distinguish between the students and the teachers. The real reason why some people support co-education is that they like western culture. They want to be more English; because the west has co-education they must have it too. But we have to consider whether our culture inevitably would agree to it. But it is not necessarily evil. And there is no reason that we should patronize everything with a foreign name. Our young men and women need education and not co-education
