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:
“There used to be housekeepers with more energy than sense—the everlasting scrubber; the over-neat woman. Since the better education of woman has come to stay, this type of woman has disappeared almost, if not entirely.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
