Re: curso
Schoolboy and schoolgirl probably wouldn't be used. Probably just student. Schoolboy and schoolgirl has a kind of old fashioned sound to it. When I hear "course" I think of a specific class, for example a course in college or a class that you might sign up for in the community. What is the context in the original? Does it refer to a course or to school?
average age of the fathers of the student/s in the course
average age of the father/s of the student/s in the school

Re: curso
I also concur re: the use of 'student' as preferred. The context would be helpful because 'average age of the father of the student in the (class, course, school)' does not seem to make sense by itself.

Re: curso
I have no more context...I think it refers to a school...but i'm not sure...
Re: curso
It also occurs to me that padre could mean parent rather than father.
You can't really say "average age of the father/parent" since an average implies more than one data point. I suggest:
The average age of the parents of the students enrolled in the class/school.
