S ummary . The university degree results of students from co‐educational and single‐sex schools were compared and found to be closely similar except that more first year drop‐outs may occur among the single‐sex educated students. The sample consisted of 221 matched pairs and was drawn from those who took the WJEC examination in a three‐year entry to Welsh university colleges, well before the students sat their finals. Variables matched or separated were Arts/Science, sex, population of school area, social class, university institution and various aspects of A‐level attainment.
