Abstract
School plays a vital role in biopsychosocial development among students. One of the common debates of modern educational system is whether mixed sex education or single-sex education is beneficial for the bio psychosocial development of adolescents. However previous research findings have not provided sufficient evidence to resolve the controversies, this study aimed at clarifying the question of ‘which nature of schooling is effective for multi-dimensional self concept?’ To resolve the controversy, self concept of boys and girls of four mixed sex schools and four single sex education schools was assessed with the help of Multidimensional self-concept scale (MSCS)(Bruce and Bracken, 1992) . Data were statistically analyzed with help of t test. As per result, competence and academic dimensions of self were found to be higher in students from single sex schooling but social dimension of self was elevated in students from mixed sex schooling for both sexes. Girls were found to have scored significantly higher than boys on social dimension of self for both types of schooling.
Highlights
School plays a vital role in biopsychosocial development among students
From student’s perspective, some studies found that self-concept for girls were more obtained in female-only environments (e.g., Cipriani-Sklar, 1996; Riordan, 1990), girls get greater self-confidence in cognitive domains in single-sex classes (Cairns, 1990) and mathematics (Mallam, 1993) and persistence in mathematics (Rowe, 1988), but Wing-man Winnie (1994) found that mixed sex education is better than single-sex education for the psychosocial development of adolescents, because single-sex schools segregate its students from peers of the opposite sex
The objectives of the research are: a)to compare between different dimensions of Self-concept of the students studying in a mixed sex education school and single sex education school separately. b) to compare between different dimensions of Self-concept of the boys and girls studying in a mixed sex education school and Single sex education school separately
Summary

The objectives of the research are: a)to compare between different dimensions of Self-concept of the students studying in a mixed sex education school and single sex education school separately. B) to compare between different dimensions of Self-concept of the boys and girls studying in a mixed sex education school and Single sex education school separately The objectives of the research are: a)to compare between different dimensions of Self-concept of the students studying in a mixed sex education school and single sex education school separately. b) to compare between different dimensions of Self-concept of the boys and girls studying in a mixed sex education school and Single sex education school separately
