Need an research paper on the advantages of single-sex education. Needs to be 5 pages. Please no plagiarism. The paper “The advantages of single-sex education” gives detailed information about how researchers at the University of Pennsylvania carried out a study on the children attending schools in Seoul, South Korea, and they found that single-sex schools are causally linked with both college entrance exam scores and college attendance rates for both boys and girls. Attending all-boys schools or all-girls schools, rather than attending coeducational schools, is significantly associated with higher average scores on Korean and English test scores. Compared with coeducational schools, single-sex schools have a higher percentage of graduates who moved on to four-year colleges. (“Single-Sex vs. Coed: The Evidence”). Other research to support the statement that academic performance is boosted within single-sex schools is the study conducted by researchers from Stetson University on the single-sex and coeducational classes at Woodward Avenue Elementary School, Florida. The results of their research were that on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), “boys in coed classes: 37% scored proficient, girls in coed classes: 59% scored proficient, girls in single-sex classes: 75% scored proficient and boys in single-sex classes: 86% scored proficient” (“Single-Sex vs. Coed: The Evidence”). In 2002 the National Foundation for Educational Research carried out a study on 2,954 high schools throughout England, and it was found that “both girls and boys did significantly better in single-sex schools than in coed schools”.
