Most psychological
studies suggest that girls and boys develop at different rates and that girls
are far in advance of boys through the teenage years: it is in a girl’s best
interest to be educated separately, at least until boys catch up with them
Single-sex education is better for
teenage girls as it takes the pressure off to try and impress boys in a
“sexualised world”, the headmistress of one of Britain’s best boarding
schools claimed.
Rhiannon Wilkinson, head of Wycombe Abbey in Buckinghamshire,
suggested it was best for girls’ education to grow in a “boys-free”
environment.
She added single boys hold girls back because girls mature faster.
“My wide educational experience in both mixed and girls’ schools has
shown me clearly that girls are best served educationally in their
teenage years in a boys-free work environment,” she was quoted as saying
by the Telegraph.
