Hello, Hive Ghana community! I hope we are doing very well.
I am here again for the weekly engagement.
School is supposed to bring real education to people, and when I say real education, I mean all-round education.
This education is supposed to mold people not just academically but also in other aspects of their lives.
Mixed school gives people this opportunity and helps them achieve a lot mentally, academically, psychologically, etc.
Single-sex schools do not provide the opportunities that mixed-sex schools do.
In single-sex schools, students relate just to their gender and do not have the opportunity to explore the experiences they should have as individuals, like the ability to tell who the man or woman is.
Single-sex schools make it difficult for their students to have self-realization and also give them the opportunity to know certain things about themselves and the opposite sex.
I went to a mixed school, and when we had biology class and the reproductive system was discussed, we would be laughing while learning important things about our body.
I have had the opportunity to visit a single-sex school, but the fun is not there as their focus is always on the gender of the school.
Mixed schools promote socialization because they give students the opportunity to socialize with people of the opposite sex.
Relating with the opposite gives you the ability to know yourself better.
Mixed schools help students learn gender equality.
Gender inequality happens because of the sensitization students are given in the single school.
The single-sex school makes the students feel that they are more important than others, and therefore, this makes them learn about gender inequality.
If it is all girls school, those girls could grow into not respecting men and even the men they get into relationships with because they were told that they are important, so they would think that they are more important.
In the single-sex school, they tailor their focus on programs that only concern the gender in the school, and this always makes them feel like they are more important than the other sex.
If students do not have moral standards, that does not mean that they were not taught well. People have self-will, and they can make decisions for themselves but are guided by others. So if anyone wants to be good, it will depend on that person and not the school he or she went to. It may contribute, but trust me, if you are determined to be good, it will pay off.
Someone said that mixed schools corrupt, but I tell you that if a child does not want to be corrupted, that child will not.
I still prefer mixed schools because they give us the opportunities we need.
A lot of benefits come with mixed school, thank God we all see it.
