Definition[edit | edit source]

Inter-school segregation refers to the separation of students from different schools based on factors such as race, socio-economic status, or academic ability. This can occur through policies such as tracking students into different ability groups, or through social dynamics that result in students from different schools interacting and socializing separately.

Inter-school segregation can have negative effects on students, reinforcing stereotypes and limiting opportunities for cross-cultural understanding. It can also perpetuate inequalities by concentrating resources and opportunities in certain schools while leaving others under-resourced.

Efforts to address inter-school segregation may include policies to promote diversity and integration in schools, funding initiatives to equalize educational resources, and programs to promote cross-school collaboration and interaction. These efforts can help to create more equitable and inclusive learning environments for all students.
