Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of conventional parents about co-education at a university level in the Loralai District, Balochistan. The sample size was consisted of 100 male and 60 female parents (N=160) and 130 male and 70 female students (N=200) from the Loralai District. The convenience sample design was adopted. A self- administered questionnaire and interview protocol were used for the collection of data. The quantitative data was analyzed through ‘t’ test and information obtained from interviews were presented in the discussion. The findings of the study were the low socio-economic status of parents, customs, ritual and traditions as well as the opposition of coeducation. Both male and female parents demanded separate universities for boys and girls in their district.References
