Co-education is a system of education in which both boys and girls attend the same institution or classes. It is an evident feature of the new era and was not practiced in early ages. This co-education is common in many Western and European countries. However, this system has many drawbacks which cannot be ignored.

Furthermore, students will be confident enough to present their ideas in the class. It was a thinking that girls and boys should study together in order to be more confident, now they just need to represent their ideas in front of people who can listen to them no matter how poor the idea is and these new and different ideas make them learn more. Single gender institutes can take the best out of children because they are not in any sort of complexity. Students know that even if they represent the worst idea they would not be made fun of and they can always ask the teacher how to improve it, whereas in co-education schools children are not able to learn from their mistakes because some of them are either too shy to ask, or are in their ego of not being wrong.
