Statistical analysis of her study shows that graduates of coeducational schools were more likely than graduates of all-girls schools to pursue careers in law, computer science, scientific research, and psychology” (“Coeducation at WT”) . Not only do co-educational schools teach gender equality, they also allow girls to
