Ummu Hajidah.G2.Single gender classes vs mixed classes.

Single gender classes are the norm here in the Brunei.I am going to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between single gender classes ith mixed gender classes.


There are some distinct similarities between the two. The first similarity is that both the school provide the same education in learning. Secondly, any facilities required in learning are also provided by the government.


Although there are similarities, there are several differences between the environments of the single gender classes with the mixed classes. The first difference is that, in single gender classes, let’s say all girls, the environment of study is more comfortable and can concentrate more on the study. While in the mixed classes, some students cannot concentrate on their studies due to several matters especially love matters. This may affect the concentration of their studies. But there is an advantage on mixed school too. In mixed class we can help each other especially when dealing with physical need, men are needed. The disadvantage of single classes are, from what we always heard is the some students get involve in same gender couple or in other words ‘gay’ or ‘lesbian’. This is a bad social problem in Brunei.

We can see that there are advantages and disadvantages for both classes. For me, I will choose mixed classes. If we want to study, gender is not considered. It is depending on each individual.
