Co- education

Co-education means the education of boys and girls together in the same school or campus and at the same time. Now this type of education has been common all over Nepal. In our country a few schools and campuses yet still educate only girls. We can take padma Kanya Campus in Kathmandu for example. In the past there were some conservative people who were against co-education. They were even against the education of girls or women. Co-education is not a new thing for us now. Stephen Leacock, a famous American education alist was also against co-education. He argued, Men cannot study when women are around. It was only after the First world war that European and American girls started attending schools and colleges in a good number.
