The Initial Awkwardness

With privatization of Educational system promoting quality learning, the education sector is surely on a roll. With an upward surge in the economy inviting larger investment in the sector, the number of educational institutes in the country has shot up.

Moreover, immunity to recession to a certain extent, always makes education an investor’s game. Having said so, and understanding the economic value and prospect of the sector the top schools in India are going global. Sieved through decades of cultural resistance, Co- Education is the product of one of these global practices.

  Since I studied in an all- girls school in one of the public schools in Noida , my experience with encountering the “other sex” mostly springs from sharing the same workplace. The initial awkwardness and self- restraint soon transformed into some really healthy personal and professional relationships. It was late but I understood the world is definitely not obsessed with two sexes in a constant combat, but there certainly are some better and critical issues to deal with. I believe it is for this very reason that the top schools in India encourage and stand tall for co- education. Now that I laugh off my past apprehensions, I have learnt my lesson.

I remember having pushed my parents to admit me to a co-ed , since most of the renowned public schools in Noida were a part of the newly dawned on Co-educational system, their only response bordered on to some hypothetical discomfort which will come my way. Conditioned to years of prejudices  and judgements , there is a long way to go for this harmless system to be taken well. Needless to say there are limits to every societal make-up and institution but limits metamorphosizing into prior reservations are a dead end to our unrealized potentials.
