Definition[edit | edit source]

Secondary school segregation refers to the practice of separating students based on race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or other characteristics in secondary schools. This segregation can manifest through tracking or streaming students into different academic programs or classes, creating separate schools for certain groups of students, or providing unequal resources and opportunities to different student populations.

This segregation can have detrimental effects on students, leading to disparities in educational outcomes, opportunities, and resources. It can also perpetuate existing inequalities and reinforce stereotypes and biases. Efforts to promote integration and diversity in secondary schools are essential in addressing these issues and ensuring equitable education for all students.
