ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of the book. The book expresses that co-educational schools are—at the least—not inferior to single-sex schools in the progress they secure from their pupils. The verdict of the teachers, especially of those who had taught in both types of school, was emphatically in favour of the fully co-educational school. Teachers in co-educational schools were not far from being unanimously in favour of them, while opposition came mainly from teachers who had never taught in such schools, i.e. much of it came from ignorance. 'The scholastic standards of single-sex schools are higher generally than those of the mixed school'. The book demonstrates that the average co-educational grammar school is a happier community for both staff and pupils than the average single-sex school; it has equally been demonstrated that this happiness is not at the expense of academic progress.
