Co-education is necessary today. The reasons are many. Boys and girls think differently. Most boys think logically and very often girls are emotional by nature. With regular interaction between boys and girls, a better understanding is created. Co-education also generates healthy competition between them and there will always be better appreciation of each others' perspectives, strength and weaknesses. Co-education also helps create mutual respect and encourages diversity in thought.

Most importantly, co-education gives confidence to girls as they are treated as 'equals'.

I feel that co-education is of prime importance in today's schooling. Co-education helps develop a cordial relationship between students and inculcated in them a spirit of sportsmanship, mutual harmony and brotherhood.

Moreover in a patriarchal society like ours, it also acts as a symbol of equality among students and stresses the vitality of women's education. It also stresses the women's dynamic participation in games and sports.

Every education system has its own pros and cons but under good guidance , the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The co-education system treats all students alike.

It is natural to be attracted emotionally and physically towards opposite gender. So many people believe that co-education to be against their traditions and culture. Therefore it sometimes creates a rift
