Do Students learn better in single gender institution?
Several studies have confirmed girls gain more in single-gender educational environments than co-ed settings.
- They build confidence in undertaking new activities for higher levels of academic achievement.
- It empowers them as single gender space emboldens them to leave stereotype roles for freedom and individuality.
- They learn to gravitate towards untraditional areas that are not always accepted for their gender. For example, they feel more comfortable with their choicest subjects.
- Single-sex schools offer more relaxed environment. This is created, in part, because girls don’t need to worry about impressing the other gender.
- The students can be themselves in class, and they can speak openly and honestly.
- Students in single-sex schools are often more willing to take risks because they do not fear falling on their face in front of the other sex. As a result, the classrooms in these schools are often dynamic, free, and bursting with ideas and conversation, all hallmarks of a great education.
Hence American, European and almost all cities in India pride in grooming girls in single-gender spaces.
