Experts  regularly  carry  out  research  to  identify  the  best  education  system.  Many  institutions  offering  higher  education  particularly  undergraduate  programmes,  compete  internationally  for  students.  So  what  system  works  the  best?
Many  people  believe  that  single-sex  education  where  boys  go  to  one  school  and  girls  go  to  another,  is  better  and  has  more  benefits  than  problems.  These  schools  often  have  very    results  in  end-of-school  tests.  However,  with  the  internet  and  better  communications,  more  children  don't  go  to  school  but  learn  through  homeschooling.  There  have  always  been  worries  that  not  mixing  with  other  children  would  have  a    effect  on  their  social  skills  when  they  are  older  but  there  has  not  been  much  research  recently  in    of  this  argument.
Educational    in  different  countries  may  have  very  different  views  on  how  to  reward  good  behaviour  and    bad  behaviour.  There  is  one  thing  which  all  experts  agree  on:  education  systems  in  different  countries,  or  even  within  different  neighbourhoods,  have  different  aims  to  suit  them  social  needs  and  there  is  no  one  ideal  system.
