Segregation is the practice of separating people based on their race, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics. It has been a common form of discrimination throughout history, with segregation laws existing in many countries, including the United States during the Jim Crow era.
Learning segregation refers to the practice of separating students based on perceived academic abilities or other criteria within an educational setting. This segregation can take various forms, such as tracking, ability grouping, or streaming, and it typically involves assigning students to different classes or educational programs based on their perceived skill levels, talents, or learning needs.


Learning about segregation involves understanding the historical context in which it occurred, the impact it had on individuals and communities, and the ways in which it has been challenged and overcome. This includes studying the civil rights movement, the role of activists and leaders in the fight against segregation, and the ongoing struggles for equality and social justice.
While proponents of learning segregation argue that it can allow for more targeted instruction and support for students at different academic levels, critics argue that it can perpetuate inequalities and create barriers to educational opportunities. For example, students who are placed in lower tracks or groups may receive less challenging coursework and fewer resources, limiting their academic growth and future opportunities. Additionally, learning segregation can reinforce stereotypes and stigmatize students who are placed in lower tracks or groups.


Educating oneself about segregation also involves reflecting on how these injustices continue to manifest in contemporary society, from housing discrimination to disparities in education and employment. By learning about segregation, individuals can work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
Efforts to address learning segregation often involve promoting inclusive and equitable educational practices, such as mixed-ability classrooms, differentiated instruction, and personalized learning approaches that support the diverse needs of all students. These approaches aim to create learning environments where all students can thrive regardless of their perceived academic abilities or backgrounds.
