coeducation

Education of both boys and girls in one institution. In most countries coeducation is now favoured over single-sex education, although there is some evidence to suggest that girls perform better in a single-sex institution, particularly in maths and science.

In the US, 90% of schools and colleges are coeducational. In 1954, the USSR returned to its earlier coeducational system, which was partly abolished in 1944. In Islamic countries, coeducation is discouraged beyond the infant stage on religious principles.
