- Abstract
- Single-sex schools have been suggested as an alternative to
failing traditional public schools on the grounds that they
provide a more favorable learning environment. However,
estimated gains to academic achievement from single-sex
schooling are generally confounded by selection bias since
single-sex schools tend to attract different students than
mainstream schools in most countries. This paper examines the
difference in academic achievement between students in
single-sex and coeducational schools across countries. The results
suggest that single-sex schooling does not always have a positive
influence on student achievement and that the selection process
often explains a significant proportion of the observed
achievement gap between single-sex and coeducational schools.
