The first advantage is that if boys and girls are taug ht

together there will not be anyneed for opening separateschools for boys and girls. 

Secondly, boys and girls haveto live together in the society intheir later lives,the girls will not

feel shy in the presence of boys

It will create a sense of healthycompetition among boys and

girls.

It is also a common experiencethat the boys behave decently

in the company of girls.

Rather it will give them theopportunity to come to each other and understand each 

other fully.

Because of co-education thegirls and boys can interact with 

each other and be familiarwith each other's environment. 

There will be no problem of discipline among the students. 

It helps to break down themisconceptions of each sex

about the other and providesan excellent foundation for the

development of realistic,meaningful and lasting 

relationships in later life.

But due care must be taken at hig h school and inter-classes where lot of physical and mentalchanges take place naturally in children. Students must be guided properly to avoid theirgoing astray.

In this way the inferiority complex of girls was removed and they started to have the feeling of being equal to the boys. 

Take the example of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, who in the world could ever think that females willenter politics but she proved her worth and at last became the Prime Minister of India.

Kiran Bedi who took the hig hest post in the Police.

We should not believe in the morality of the

medieval ages. The world is changing fast todayand women are being given an equal status with

men in the society. Let us, therefore accept the

changing order and open more and more co-educational institutions in future and say good bye

to separate institutions.
