Both boys and girls positively get affected by single-sex educational environment; while boys can express themselves comfortably in arts and theatre, and girls¿ performance in mathematics and science subject has significantly improved (Martin & Beese, 2016; Leder, 2004). Both freed from opposite sex stereotype and intention of impressing opposite sex in educational process (Hughes, 2007). Past researches conclude (Murphy, 2008) that single-sex schooling also contributes positively for character building and moral development of students compared to co-educational schooling. The teachers who are the key players in educational process are varied in opinion about single-sex education (Sari, 2017; Spielhagen, 2011).
