Definition

Economic school segregation refers to the phenomenon where students from different socioeconomic backgrounds are segregated into different schools. This can often lead to disparities in resources, opportunities, and outcomes for students based on their family's income level. This kind of segregation can perpetuate inequality and limit opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Efforts to address economic school segregation often involve policies and programs aimed at promoting more diverse and inclusive school environments.
