Co education
Co-education means the education of boys and girls together. In our country there is co-education in some college and schools, in mot colleges and school there is separate education for boys as well as for girls.
Co-education has remained controversial issue in our country. Some people are in favour of this system and want to introduce it in all schools and colleges. They say that this system is very useful. They give many arguments in its favour. Their main argument is that in poor and backward country like Pakistan
The real reason why some people support co-education is that they like western culture. They want to be more English than English because west has co-education so they must have it. But we have to consider whether our religion, our culture and our circumstances allow us to adopt co-education. I can say that they certainly not allow us to adopt such system.
In fact the supporters of co-education are talking of its benefits in such a manner, if it is only road to heaven. A little thought would expose the hollowness of these arguments. Everyone who has visited even a couple of colleges and schools knows that all of our institutions are frightfully over crowded. The girls schools and colleges too are over-crowded. Hundreds of new educational institutions are needed. It some of these are reserved for girls, it would not cost more to government. If number of girl’s students were small then the consideration of economy would have been partly valid. The second argument is also not valid if young men and women can not understand each other in their homes and families, then they would not be able to do so in the school or college. Why that one is feels that one can understand the opposite sex only if one meets one’s neighbours daughter.
The system of co-education will not raise the standard of education. Temptation of flutring is strongest than the urgent reading text books co-education will create many problems not only for the students but also for teachers. Temptation does not distinguish between the students and the teacher.
If co-education is inevitable one would agree to it. But it is not a necessary evil. And there is no reason that we should patronize every thing with foreign name. If it is necessary we should adopt it only at elementary level while at secondary level and higher secondary level there should be separate system of education. By adopting this system at secondary and higher secondary level we will only be able to promote vulgar-ness in our society.
