Abstract
The article compares the co-education and the single-sex education. Based on international research, the positive and negative sides of both models are discussed.
Focusing the gender equality, the unreflected coeducation is found problematic because gender stereotypes are usually reproduced. The potential promotion of the single-sex education in Czech Republic (following international experimental schools) should impeach the students´ opinions.
The article brings the results of survey (N=556) that was focused on students´ approaches and experience with single-sex and co-education. Children prefer coeducational settings despite of reporting the gender biased peer harassment and the unequal treatment by teachers.
