Impact of Single-Sex Classrooms on Girl’s Academic Achievement

In the United States and across the globe, there have been continuous changes in the education systems with the primary goal of improving academic achievement (Tereliansky et al., 2019). Despite the changes and improvements that have been made, under-achievement among some students has remained to be a challenge, prompting stakeholders in the education sector to look for strategic approaches to enhance instruction quality targeting specific groups (Hill, 2021). In recent years, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders have shown interest in single-sex education, as a potential strategy for improving the overall levels of academic performance (Koniewski & Hawrot, 2021; Sikora, 2014). Supporters of single-sex education have the conviction that such a learning environment protects students from gender stereotypes and attraction to the opposite sex, which, in turn, helps in improving the levels of academic achievement (Dustmann & Ku, 2018; Kirabo, 2021)
