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:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
