Support for teaching professionals in the classroom and beyondSingle sex versus co-ed schools: the debate reappears

8th January 2016
An article published in Independent School Parent recently, written by the Head of a co-ed independent school, states that girls educated in an all-girls school are at a huge disadvantage compared with those educated alongside boys when it comes to working the real world. His view is supported by an article recently published in the journal Science in which research suggests that women who were educated at single-sex schools were “compromised in the workplace as their ability to network and cooperate with men was inhibited". The journal article also suggests that “sex segregation increases gender stereotyping and legitimises institutional sexism”.
