Topic 6

By Cornelius Riorda

“Coeducation was never put into effect because of any sound education research. It was put in place because of financial constraints… [It] has never been subjected to systematic research.”

“Single-sex schools work to improve student achievement, they work for girls and boys, women and men.”

“Disadvantaged students in single-sex schools, compared to their counterparts in coeducational schools, have been shown to have higher achievement outcomes on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, science, and civics. They show higher levels of leadership behavior in the school. They do more home work, they take a stronger course load. They have higher educational expectations. They also manifest higher levels of environmental control, more favorable attitude towards school, less sex-role stereotyping…It’s important to know that the effects of single-sex schools are fairly robust.”
