THE COEDUCATION

  • VIPER-VENOM كتب:

    hi for all the members and the vistors
    I want your oppinion as soon as possible
    about the coeducation in the universities and the colleges here in oman
    because i want to make a research about that subject
    for my college


    Coeducation, as it is practiced all over the world, is very good and beneficial.

    I havent had the pleasure to be in a oman college or University, so my opinion would be as an outsider if i may.

    I think the coeducation concept in oman is vague, given that seperation of genders is highly imposed and otherwise would be not very well accepted socially. In other words, the co education as a concept is there, but its not really giving any positive results because of many restrictions.

    I am sure others would have more fruitful opinions,
    You could also elaborate more on what Exactly you're researching (i.e. social?, acadamic?, pros and cons?)i

    :)

  • Thank you VIPER_VENOM
    I cannot remember at what age Islam imposes separation boys from girls, and I believe it is 5 or 7, and this is the age at which one sex knows about the other sex, and this I presume in bed and this is in bed sharing and sleeping together
    Anyway, The prophet Mohammed said
    ما اجتمع رجل وامرأة الا وكان الشيطان ثالثهما، صدق رسول الله

    Let us now move to education and coeducation, and why do we go for schools and universities? is it to learn or meet the other sex, or may be meet head to head?i

    I believe coeducation though it has imposed at some stages of children schools, has a positive sign at this very early age as it is a proper age that a boy realizes that there is an opposite sex, the girl, and girl is just like him, a human being that goes to school just like him and she learns and do her homework the same way he does his. It is the same for the girl to know about the boy
    He/she learns that there are no obvious differences and learns to respect each other

    Once both go to university together they will keep it the same way
    Now we move to those who start coeducation at a university or higher education in general, here he/she starts to learn what today's kids have already learnt, and the question is, will he/she accepts the fact I have already mentioned!? Some will, some won't
    Girls are not ruined by boys only and vice versa, girls ruin girls and boys ruin boys

    But I guess the majority will go for the idea, some from the principle he/she wants to show off, while others from I do not give it a damn

    After al, the majority and by time will find out that girls/boys are not much different and not forgetting it is there and imposed and I cannot change things myself, and to end I would say, NO, I am not against coeducation on one condition, we are prepared for it

    Sorry I looked a little untidy

  • Im sorry I know Im a bit late, but I was researching about the coeducation and looking at some articles talking about this matter. I do agree with Tenderness about the coeducation in the early stages, but there is a reason for everything, for seperation and coeducation. Children learn things quickly when they are kids, however, they dont learn it as clear as possible because they need to grow up and so the way they think has to expand a little bit more as they grow up

    Coeducation is good if the foundation of incorporating it starts from home. Many little hyper boys hit girls at school by having this idea in their head that girls are weak or men hit women, whatever the source of this idea, families do really need to bring up their kids correctly and tell them that hitting anyone is wrong. Sometimes girls do the same thing and there are girls who control boys at school. They are just kids, but they know what they are doing to some extent

    I would seperate boys and girls from the age of 9 in schools, because as children learn to go to school with opposite sex, they need to learn living without them in some places like schools. We are not westeners to incorporate every thing they do. Although coeducation was the reason why levels of male students got higher. It raises the competition between men and women trying to prove who is the best

    But as they grow up, little problems grow as well and to avoid problems, we need to avoid the causes. Severe punishments or let's say giving kids a very good lesson in respectng others in a mixed environment has to be emphasised on it because we cant start a new system without knowing most of the aspects related to it. The only thing is, we need to keep the two genders equal in learning, they have to learn the same stuff

    At this stage, I do not agree with coeducation after grade 4, until people change their behavior and tell their kids to respect others and if thats not done, then my kids do not have to complete their education in Oman.. there are many other options out there

    Cheers

  • Thank you dear VIPER-VENOM, and I do not think that you had this topic in here as much as we tried to discuss it for you to pass by and thank us. We have never done that and spent quite some time waiting for a thankyou

    It is supposed to be a discussion and you are expected to discuss it and show us all what you have in mind

    Thanks once again hoping to see you again discussing things

  • Here I am
    [grade='FFA500 FF6347 008000 4B0082']Hi
    here is my opinion
    for me as a student in sohar college of education and for all the students there, the first experiment with that system in 2002 .
    I think for the girls in the college it isn’t fair because they can’t express their feeling and ideas as much as they can do if they are only girls. the coeducation is against Islam and it’s western idea that failed with them
    I asked my teacher about the solution for this problem.
    He said “I think if the boys and the girls in the coeducation from the beginning, they will regard each other as friends and classmates and I think the coeducation will succeed in oman and it’s very important step for easy life I the future”[/grade]

  • When we consider a subject we should view it from all the ways. Regarding coeducation, what are the advantages and what are the disadvantages?
    If there are advantages, are there conditions to benefits them or it can be implemented in any circumstances.

    In my opinion implementing coeducation in our environment which is saturated with sexual media and disregarding the religious principles is going to lead as in this sort of consequences

  • Thank you student
    We are not here to differ but to meet rather, and to try to apply what we have on some internet sites that are talking and directed into western societies and cultures are not always valid for our society and culture

    I do not deny we are losing the grip, but at the same time I do not see it fair to make it sounds like coeducation is to blame

    As one sister said, we start from home. Some homes have mistakes, we do not deny that, but homes protecting their kids and know how to do it, neither coeducation nor "sexual" media as you put it will ruin and demolish principles

    Remember, there are two directions, and there are turning points and one day you cannot just keep going, and just turn round

    I have always had a dream and a hope, and always pray for the better

    Let us all pray for the better, and to take action and work hard is one way of a prayer
