Paperback. Series: Ethnic & Intercommunity Conflict. Num Pages: 173 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JFSL; JHB; JNK. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
All societies contain ethnic divisions. Traditionally, education has acted to promote social integration, but with the acknowledgement of diversity do we know which system best promotes positive inter-community relations? Education in Divided Societies examines the experience of a range of systems, including those which provide common schools and those which place minorities in separate schools. The book argues that structures do not guarantee outcomes and that processes of dialogue and interconnected social systems provide the route to the future.
