Co-education is good for men
Schooling makes no difference to womens relationship but has an adverse effect on men, says a survey conducted by London University Institute of Educations Centre for Longitudinal Studies. Around 13,000 youngsters born in 1958 were surveyed
37% of men from boy schools are divorced by the time they reach the age of 42 compared with just 28 per cent from co-educational schools.
25% of men from single-sex schools are divorced by that age, compared with 20 per cent from mixed schools.
10% more earnings were found of girls who attend all-girl secondary schools than those sent to mixed schools.
7.92 an hour in their early forties was the average earning of girls who went to mixed schools 8.33 was the average income of girls who went to girls schools.
Quote:
- Men who went to single-sex schools are more likely to be divorced by their early for ties, while girls who went to single-sex schools improve their chances of landing well paid jobs.
- But, the survey also shows that schooling has no bear ing on the likelihood of mar riage, childbearing, or how happy people feel in their relationships.
- Academics said that girls in single- sex schools are more likely to study traditionally male subjects such as maths and physics, helping them break into male-dominated careers.
