The topic of co-education, where male and female students share the same educational institutions, is one that has sparked debates and discussions for decades, and it remains a complex issue with no simple “yes” or “no” answer. Several factors contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding co-education. Pakistani scriptwriter, Khalil Ur Rehman believes co-education is what is contributing to the downfall of the society and causing immense harm to the future generations.
One of the most critical factors is the social and cultural context. The acceptability of co-education often depends on the prevailing norms and values of a society. In Pakistan there are still many prominent figures like Khali ur Rehman Qamar that are against co-education.
The impact of co-education on academic outcomes is another point of contention. Research on this topic has produced mixed results, with some studies suggesting no significant effect on educational achievement and others claiming that single-sex education might lead to better results in certain cases.
