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:
“To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
