VIDYA BHARTI EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

CO-EDUCATION IN INDIA

http://vidyabharti.in/

Co-education refers to the integrated education system, where the education of both boys and girls are arranged in the same environment, mainly at schools, colleges and universities.Co–education is one of the most common spectacles in the educational system of West. It is now been widely seen in India as well.

CRITICSThere are certain critics who are still holding the conservative view that by studying in co-educational institutions our girls become immodest and graceless and that their moral character also gets blotted. These critics are of the opinion that the decline of morality in the present age is the direct outcome of co-educational system. There is absolutely no truth in these false and baseless charges against co-education. Co-education neither corrupts a girl nor a boy. Educational institutions are holy temples of the Goddess Saraswati

ADVANTAGES OF CO-EDUCATION

1. Broadens Outlook and Personality: Co-education, apart from providing a much better and higher standard of education, also serves as vital force in the development of a girl’s personality. It widens her narrow out-look and broadness her horizon. Modesty and grace are, indeed, two most important qualities in an ideal Indian girl.2. Bold and smart: Co-education removes shyness from a girl and makes her bold and smart. It creates in the hearts of both the boys as well as girls, an inspiring urge to work together for the advancement and enrichment of the nation and the country. Boys and girls are the two ‘wheels’ of the Chariot of a nation. Both must play their parts equally and ideally to make the ‘Chariot’ run faster and still faster.

3. Psychological benefits: From the psychological point of view, co-education is a blessing for girls, especially of an under-developed and newly-liberated country, like India, which is on her path of progress. When girls study with boys and take part in every activity side by side, they are psychologically cured of this disease of self-defeatism and self-created pessimism.

4. Lowers cost of education:When both girls and boys get education in a safe environment, the need for separate education institutions for girls would get minimized. Co-education is the appropriate solution to minimize the high cost of maintaining separate staff and educational infrastructure for girls.5.  Equality: Co-education enables the boys and girls to come in contact with each other. During this course, they are able to understand and develop respect for each other. This mutual understanding results in development of a social environment where both men and women are treated equally.

CONCLUSIONBoys and girls, both, will have to contribute their maximum quota of energy, toil and knowledge to re-build the shattered social and economic order of our country and the nation. Co-education is immensely beneficial to the girls of India, rather it is blessing to them.
