Mixed-sex education, also known as mixed-gender education, co-education, or coeducation (abbreviated to co-ed or coed), is a system of education where males and females are educated together. Whereas single-sex education was more common up to the 19th century, mixed-sex education has since become standard in many cultures, particularly in Western countries.

From its opening in 1818, the school admitted both boys and g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
