Co-Education Pros and Cons in Modern Age

Co education means combined education of boys and girls in the school and colleges but is the modern concept of education, in the past male and female schools and colleges were separate. Co education is a controversial issue in modern age because some people support it and some people do not support co education all over the world.

Some people say that in the poor countries where the government cannot male separate schools and colleges for male and female that is why the concept of co education was promoted all over the world. Modern concept of co education says that co education provides a better chance to the both sexes to understand each other in a better way, but the other group says that co education promotes corruption in the minds of male and female that is why most of the people do not support the concept of co education on their countries.

Another group of people do not support the concept of co education keeping in mind the teaching of Islam and religion because co education may develop illegal relationship between man and woman in alone. In most of the countries where co education is present such cases have been found and that is why people do not like the concept of co education.

Co-education is a western term; it means the education of boys and girls in the same school, college and universities. It was first of all introduced in Switzerland but now it is popular all over the world. But we discuss here coeducation in relation to Pakistan. Pakistan is an Islamic Country, undeveloped and progressive country.

Pakistan is a self-made poor country that cannot make separate schools, colleges and universities for boys and girls. Owing to this girls and boys have to get education in one institution. It is good time for boys and girls to know human nature living together for a long time.

In the broader sense, coeducation results are good because it develops confidence and decision power among alumnus and alumni. Some parents are against coeducation due to spreading corruption among boys and girls. It is their wrong thinking and the record does not show it. On the contrary coeducation makes boys and girls polite, decent and civilized.

Now we see working women with men in any department doing their jobs successfully. On the other hand, coeducation ahs raised the status of women all over the world. To get education for boys and girls is according to Islam. But getting education together is a separate question.

According to laws of nature woman is construction and man is destruction. Always construction dominates destruction since their births. But a few persons know it the secret law of nature.

But there are some bad factors attach to coeducation as love marriage between class lovers, running away with class lovers forgetting parents’ respect and school or college respect. But there are recorded a few cases of such types. Here Shakespeare says, “There is nothing good or bad but our thinking makes it so.” But there is a good thing in coeducation that boys can select their wives and girls can select their husbands according to their choice.

Coeducation rests on college and school atmosphere that builds the character of boys and girls in the best way. As we know character is destiny that choose man’s goal of life on earth. We leave the first step and forget the second step while discussing coeducation. This thinking is against the laws of nature. If

Mother’s lap is corrupt, the whole world is corrupt. The most important thing is that those whose issues are corrupt it is due to their unlabored earning just for the issues’ comforts and luxuries. According to laws of nature the unlabored earning for children’s feeding purpose corrupt children’s thinking and doings in our society. It is written in the book of life not their children’s doings good or bad.

To sum up, coeducation is good for boys and girls because it develops practically confidence in the best and most difficult situation as in the class living with boys and girls together. It also builds competitive spirit in boys and girls due to which schools and colleges get name and fame and make their place in the society in which we are living.

    • We can not say that because Pakistan is a self-made poor country the co-education has been preferred. Of course, the country needs such system of education in view of the role played by modern women in the society.
      The Holy Quran never prohibited women getting education.
      But, Quran is against Co-education the reasons are self-explanatory and they are well explained in the article itself.

      We can not go against the teaching of Quran as whatever damage has to occur has already occurred.
      It is not only Quran but every religious book is right in its entirety. What they teach and preach are the truths and never go waste or wrong.
      When Quran recommends Burka for a woman there is a meaning of not exposing her body. Is there anything wrong in it? It does not recommend for co-education means the consequences arising out of such system could be well founded in the modern society. In the name of advanced culture, fashion, they are crossing even the established norms and traditions and doing harm to the society itself. Why don't they wear burkha even attending co-education institutions? They should respect their religious teachings.

      The religious books are God's given. Prophet Mohammad was not educated Quran was dictated to him by the Divine voice. It was written in Arabic. The language, style, and the vocabulary were considered excellent even by the educated scholars of the Arabic language. How could Prophet Mohammad write such a divine book? It is nothing but God's given.

      Still, we do not respect his words and teaching and following the contents mentioned by HIM. We simply neglect them in the name of modernism.

      In India in the name of RIGHT TO PRAY another campaign has taken place and is taking place. This is against the prohibition of women's entry inside the Sanctum Sanctorum of temples and Mosques.

      Women organizations have made a protest against the women's prohibition inside the temples and got the permission of the Supreme court and are now free to enter inside a Mosque or a temple.

      They forced into the SHANI SINGANAPUR temple and offered prayers. Similarly, the women organization also made its way inside Haji Ali Dargah and offered prayers.

      How can they overlook the traditions and religious dictates? Is this the education taught them. The consequences will be felt in the long run though not immediately.

      Whether it is co-education or any other system of education it should respect the teachings of the religious books which are thoughtfully written with a great research and forethought. If the education does not respect how to honor the teachings of elder the very meaning and purpose of education will be totally a waste.

    • A very important topic of discussion in today's world of female liberation and emancipation . I feel education is nobody's intellectual property and people have to change with times as was the case of sati, jogin and other such practices which where removed to a great extent in the society by social reformers like Rajaram Mohan Roy and others. It does not mean that each and everything that is ancient and old has to be opposed. Hinduism had many innumerable cases where such reforms have been taking place from time immemorial. Hinduism has survived because there is scope for reasoning, rationality and all sorts of thoughts to converge and a new order to emerge. But even today there are many practices which permit one person or the other from entering a particular for some reason or the other. It does not mean religion is bad. If one is going into a particular order one has to go by the rules. If he is finding it uncomfortable he or she can avoid going to such a place. As doing something for the sake of pure ritual without applying mind and deed is of no use and is as good as not performing it. But nowadays a new trend of ultra change activists have sprung up who want to question each and everything as they feel hinduism is liberal and they can get away by doing any sort of activity as per their whims and fancies. This unfortunate trend of this so called activist crusaders has to taken with a pinch of salt. While change and reform are welcome, reform for simply the sake of reform or satisfying a few egos is again not a right thing. Their is a silent voiceless majority which would also want to take part in the process. Why not get some form of voting for the purpose of the reforms and do it in a religious, scientific, rational way without hurting religious sentiments or thrusting or imposing something arbitrarily? This is a point to ponder by all parties concerned for the good of religion. While there is no discrimination which should be there in the case of religion or gender. It should also be understood that law and society should be gender neutral and should treat both boys and girls with equal respect. Education system is a different field which has to be overhauled and so is the mindset of what is modern thinking. Debates and rational thinking with society leaders, reformers, thinkers and common people are the only way out.

    • I dont knwo how coeducation make the one confidence, it is not related at all, and it should not be issue since we school to learn not to set together, and that is why in the europ the pregnant teens are higher than in middle east, if you go to learn then learn, and the society it self is mixed there you develp to real confidence not in the class between 4 walls. that is like trying to be strong in small room with small no. many stories can be udnerstood in two different ways, so which is right and which is wrong, it depend on the events and how they are transmit in history
