Mixed-sex education, also known as coeducation (American English) or mixed-gender education, is the integrated education of male and female students in the same environment. This and single-sex education are very popular teaching methods used today around the world. There have been many arguments and studies that examine single-sex and/or mixed-sex education to argue in favor or against a teaching style. Most older institutions of higher education were reserved for the male sex and since then have changed their policies to become coeducative.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
