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:
“We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
