Single-sex education, also known as single-gender education, is the practice of conducting education where male and female students attend separate classes or in separate buildings or schools. The practice was common before the nineteenth century, particularly in secondary education and higher education. Single-sex education in many cultures is advocated on the basis of tradition as well as religion, and is practiced in many parts of the world. Recently, there has been a surge of interest and establishment of single-sex schools due to educational research.
History
Before the 19th century, single-sex schooling was common. During the 19th century, more and more coeducational schools were set up. Together with mass education, the practice of coeducation was universalized in many parts. In 1917 coeducation was mandated in the Soviet Union. According to Cornelius Riordan, "By the end of the nineteenth century, coeducation was all but universal in American elementary and secondary public schools (see Kolesnick, 1969; Bureau of Education, 1883; Butler, 1910; Riordan, 1990). And by the end of the 20th century, this was largely true across the world. Wiseman (2008) shows that by 2003, only a few countries across the globe have greater than one or two percent single sex schools. But there are exceptions where the percent of single sex schools exceeds 10 percent: Belgium, Chile, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, and most Muslim nations. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in single sex schools in modern societies across the globe, both in the public and private sector (Riordan, 2002)."

A happy start, a sad, sad ending for every minute of the story See as their wills are broke and bending See the good girls in their glory A primary academy, we're a secondary seminary teaching finishing rinse, and dancing tips and scorn Always concerned with plummeting virginity rates We lecture young girls on how babies are born Children! make a chain Oh, children! make a chain The staff here is severe, yet so altruistic It hurts us more than it hurts them The new girls are tender, the old ones sadistic The late janitress was a gem Don't believe what the boys from next door heard Requirements do include math (A happy start, a sad, sad ending for every minute of the story) We draw straws and put our best foot forward Down the straight and narrow path Listen to our pretty song, we are happy as the day is long Forget the things you thought you knew, we'll make a very good girl of you Listen to our pretty song, we are happy as the day is long Forget the things you thought you knew, we'll make a very good girl of you A pupil transferred here from Lavender Lake She wrote a winning essay on self-denial Some underage urchins were forced to matriculate, their records kept here undefiled A neat retreat slips through their fingers Which little girl made the plan?
