Abstract

Summary. The effects of co‐education on attainment in examinations, as shown in the Northern Ireland Senior Certificate examination, were studied. Comparisons between co‐educated and segregated boys and girls were made on the basis of success in gaining the Certificate, and marks in individual subjects. In general, co‐educated boys seemed superior to segregated boys but co‐educated girls tended to have lower marks than segregated girls. The possible influence on these results of age, I.Q., or social class, was considered; no conclusive evidence of the effect of these factors was found.
