Although single-sex schools were popular in the old generation over the last 20 years, they were reduced and replaced by common schools with both boys and girls. Those two types of education have their own benefits and hindrances, and that can affect the quality of teaching, studying and people’s attitude as well. This essay will report the major advantages and disadvantages of single sex education. Finally, some comments will be displayed to clarify this topic.

That means the educators can guess what their students intend to behave in some specific situations, and they can evaluate the capability of students’ implementation. Therefore, teachers can define the best methods of teaching to satisfy the demands of knowledge that the students want to know. In fact, in an environment where students have same sex, there would be no more to separate or classify the properties of activities for each gender because the environment of single sex education led everything to simplicity. Each gender have their own distinct characteristics, and that environment is very suitable.
Fuuthermore, in single gender education, schoolgirls tend to be rival and make much more efforts than in coed-schools. The evidence of this statement will be explored to prove, that is the comparison between two environment of coed and single sex education. The results of a survey shows that 20 percents of 647,942 students in a mixed school did the exam worse than predicted.

Almost knowledge that the teachers give students in single sex schools based on their own experience. Additionally, there could be a controversial issue to choose appropriate teachers for each kind of gender. It is probable because gender-relative problems occurance can lead to unexpected situations.
