  2. About Single-Sex Schools • Single-sex education (SSE), also known as Single-gender education, is the practice of conducting education where male and female students attend separate classes or are in separate buildings of schools. The practice was predominant before the mid-twentieth 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. • Parallel Education is a system in which boys and girls are split into single-sex classes for core subjects, but will come together for drama, music, and other social and cultural activities.
