COEDUCATION:-
COEDUCATION , education of males and females in the
same schools. A modern phenomenon, it was adopted earlier and
more widely in the United States than in Europe, where tradition
proved a greater obstacle.
Education.
Coeducation was first introduced in Western Europe after the
Reformation, when certain Protestant groups urged that girls as well
as boys should be read the Bible taught to. The practice became
especially marked in Scotland, the northern parts of England, and
colonial New England, where young children of both sexes attended
dame schools. In the latter half of the 18th century, girls were
gradually admitted to town schools. The Society of Friends in England
as well as in the United States were pioneers in coeducation as they
were in universal education, and, in Quaker settlements in the British
colonies, boys and girls generally attended school together. The new
free public elementary, or common, schools, which after the
American Revolution supplanted church institutions, were almost
always coeducational, and by 1900 most public high schools were
coeducational as well. Many private colleges from their inception
admitted women (the first was Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio), and
many state universities followed their example. By the end of the
19th century, 70 percent of American colleges were coeducational.
In the second half of the 20th century, many institutions of higher
learning that had been exclusively for persons of one sex became
coeducational.
In Western Europe, the main exponents of primary and secondary
coeducation were the Scandinavian countries. In Denmark,
coeducation extends back to the 18th century, and in Norway,
coeducation was adopted by law in 1896. In Germany, on the other
hand, until the closing decades of the 19th century it was practically
impossible for a girl to get a secondary education, and, when girls’
secondary schools were introduced, their status was inferior to that
of schools for boys. At present in many large municipalities, such as
Bremen, Hamburg, and Berlin, coeducation at the primary level is the
rule; at the secondary level there has been little change.
Antagonism to coeducation in England and on the European
continent diminished more rapidly in higher education than in
secondary. In England, Girton College at Cambridge was established
for women in 1869, and the London School of Economics was
opened to women in 1874. Germany permitted women to
matriculate in 1901, and by 1910 women had been admitted to
universities in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden,
Switzerland, Norw, ay, Austria-Hungary, France, and Turkey.
Since World War II coeducation has been adopted in
many developing countries; China and Cuba are outstanding
examples. There are many other countries, however, where social
conditioning and religious sanctions have limited its success. In most
Arab countries, for example, girls tend to drop out of coeducational
schools at the age of puberty.
