No, there should not be separate schools for boys and girls. In today’s era studying in co-ed schools is very common. In a co-education school boys and girls study together and that helps them in understanding each other’s gender on a broader scale.
Co-education is quite important and advantageous for today’s generation. It helps in eliminating the conservative minds of girls and boys and makes them more perceptive, understandable and confident which helps boys and girls to create healthy relationships. When both will study together in a co-ed schools they will understand and respect each other from childhood. In our society where we need gender equality, in coed schools boys will learn to treat girls the same way they treat other boys which will help in increasing gender equality. Learning gender equality from childhood will surely help them in future which also results in development of country. Being in a co-ed school will give girls and boys the same education level and there will be no discrimination. If both boys and girls study in separate schools then when at teenage of their lives they will connect to opposite gender they will definitely feel embarrassed or not able to hangout together. They will never learn how to talk to opposite gender fluently due to which they will lack behind in their jobs when they will not able to work with opposite gender.
Therefore there should not be separate schools for boys and girls so they can become more helpful to each other. They can understand opposite gender’s issue as well.
