THBT co-ed schools are better than single sex school
The motion today is …
Firstly I would like to begin this debate by defining the motion…
Definition:
Co-ed schools : … EG: evergreen sec, admiralty sec
Single sex school: … EG: CHIJ, RI, St Marge
(In this motion there are two important key terms; mixed-sex education and single-sex education.)
Firstly I would like to define the term co-education, it is the integrated education of male and female students in the same institution.
Secondly I would like to define single-sex education; it is the practice of conducting education where male and female students attend separate classes in September.
Yard stick :
Better??? How to measure?

Context
In this debate I as proposition would like to clarify that this debate shall not be limited to any specific country but worldwide ??? ( 1st world , 3rd world, Islamic states?) .
1st world liberal democratic countries ( 99.9 % of the time)
Case division
Now, on to my case division. I as the first proposition speaker would be focusing on
preparing pupils for the outside world.
While my 2nd proposition speaker would be touching on
opportunity to learn each other strengths
point 1: preparing pupils for the outside world.
Now on to my substantives. Co education acts as a platform to prepare pupils for the outside world. If you look at co education school philosophically, in terms of your vision for the world and what you want your children to contribute and strive to it. You have got to make sure they have the right tools and properly equipped and co education does that well. We think of people of all ethic background and different sex’s that come together in class room and learn skills Such as good communication and the ability to cooperate with the opposite gender for their future careers.. In today world the advantage are noticed. We have man and woman who have to work together to complete assignment, work in groups led by boys and girls and have to live together in the society in their later lies and practically that is the way the world is going around.
For example : ??? statistic? Numbers ? %? Experts opinions? Surveys? Quote famous institutions = believable
* if u can’t find examples… LIE CONVINCINGLY
in the work force if your boss or employees are of the opposite gender from you and you are from single sex school you might not communicate and behave in a comfortable manner and might not quickly adapt to the new environment which would cause a negative impact on your work. This is not the case if you are from co-ed school.
According to the study done by Harvard Psychology department in 2008, experts found out that … The formative years of children are the best time to expose them to the company of the other gender, in order that they may learn each other behavior and be better prepared for adult lives.
Thus co-ed schools are a platform for students to develop into rounded, capable personalities who are able to deal with anything that the modern working world can throw at them. in schools students can learn from their mistakes but however in the working world outside, every mistake made is critical. To save them from embarrassment and awkwardness during an adult phase of life it is very important for them to pick up these significant skills as early as possible. Example some critics ( ??? who are these phantom ppl ???) form single sex schooling in the us claim that the environment from single sex school are artificial and hiders students development of social skills the teenagers feel that it is hard to natural relate to the opposite gender. Thus co-education provides much more opportunities to help the pupils to be well rounded. Therefore go with the proposition. Hence this motion must stand!
