Is coeducation good or bad?

Image
  Is coeducation good or bad? By Jasmine Pradhan Nepal Tourism and Hotel Management College Pokhara, Nepal Many people believe that educating girls and boys separately will help them grow steadily. However, if they study in the same educational institutions, they will inevitably fall into the pit of physical attraction. This is bound to happen, as they grow older.     However, I believe educating boys and girls together will be more beneficial for their all-round mental, physical, and psychological development.  In the distant past, boys and girls were educated separately, but today there is no discrimination based on gender. Both boys and girls are educated together for all good reasons. Different studies have found that educating boys and girls together positively influences the mental aptitudes of boys and girls.  Educating boys and girls together always helps them to understand each other. However, if they are educated separately, the gap will be...

  SUCCESSFUL SPORT-PERSONS EARN MORE MONEY THAN OTHER PROFESSIONALS DO: IS IT RIGHT OR WRONG? By Sujan Dhungana B.E. in Automobile Engineering Western Regional Campus, Pokhara, Nepal This is a fact that successful sports professionals earn a great amount of money as compared to other important professions. Many people think it is unfair.  This is undeniably true that it is always very challenging to become famous and successful in the field of sports as compared to other professions. The athletes have to devote lots of time to developing certain talent. During those struggling times, they will not have any income until they become popular. It is also not sure whether they will be famous or not. Many athletes, despite hard work and dedication, lost in oblivion.  Athletes must have to sacrifice many things in order to get success. Because competition is so high and beating competitors and making a place among them is if not impossible, but it is definitely very tough....

The ramifications of bulging population

  The ramifications of bulging population By Alija Bhurtel Manipal College of Medical Science, Pokhara, Nepal Over the last couple of years, the population growth rate has reached an alarming level. This has put tremendous pressure on resources, which are limited. Excessive exploitation of natural resources has triggered a violent response from nature. Natural calamities of all kinds are the testimony to the fact that increasing population growth has already reached its brim.  Every additional burden on natural resources does have serious repercussions. Wars, agitation, unrest, poverty, unemployment, pollution, epidemics, and so on are the results of nature’s wrath.  Population growth rate has gone out of control in some countries in Africa and Asia. But there is still a glimmer ray of hope as the population growth rate has been under control in the European countries. Thus, in order to tackle the problem of rapid population growth, rich countries should come out ...

Single Gender versus Coeducational Schools

  Single Gender versus Coeducational Schools By Kanchan Khand Thakuri Diamond Secondary School, Talchowk, Pokhara, Nepal Separate schools should be made for male and female genders or not. This subject has been in discussion for a long time. Different scholars have given their opinions about the subject. Some scholars think that girls should have separate schools. If they study in a school where only girls are educated, this will create a conducive environment for better study. All girls in the school mean no mental diversion for them. This will create a better environment for girls to study in schools.   On the other hand, if boys and girls study together, there will be many physical, mental, and psychological issues among them. Boys and girls will definitely have sexual attraction, and this is a fact that nobody can deny. Each time the opposite sex comes closer, there will be sexual attraction.  In this way, if they spend more time with each other, they will end u...

Scarcity is the best teacher in life

  Scarcity is the best teacher in life By Simran Bastola Bal Mandir Secondary School, Nadipur, Pokhara, Nepal Wealth can indeed bring luxury and materialistic comforts in life. Thus, children from rich families get everything as soon as they desire. Life is much more comfortable for the children of rich families, which makes them less hard-working. However, children in poor families live in scarcity. Their lives are not a bed of roses, and every day is a challenge for them.  It has been found that children who live in poverty are much more sincere and hard-working. They understand the value of money and everything. They see how difficult it is for their parents to run family affairs daily. Every day is a challenge for them. Dealing with such problems throughout their early lives eventually makes these children more sincere, hardworking, and disciplined.  On the other hand, those children who have never experienced scarcity in their lives are careless, undiscipline...
