During recent decades, social inequalities have increased in many
urban spaces in the globalized world, and education has not been
immune to these tendencies. Urban segregation, migration movements
and education policies themselves have produced an increasing
process of school segregation between the most disadvantaged social
groups and the middle classes. Exploring school segregation
patterns in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, England, France,
Peru, Spain, Sweden and the USA, this volume provides an overview
of the main characteristics and causes of school segregation, as
well as its consequences for issues such as education inequalities,
students' performance, social cohesion and intercultural contact.
The book is organized in three parts, with Part 1 exploring the
systemic dimensions of education inequalities that shape different
patterns of school segregation, and the extent to which public
policies have addressed this challenge. Part 2 focuses on the
consequences of school segregation on student performance and other
educational aspects, and the Part 3 explores how school segregation
dynamics are shaped by market forces and privatization of
education. Whilst focusing on different dimensions of school
segregation, each chapter explores the magnitude, trends and
consequences of school segregation, providing readers with a
comprehensive overview of the phenomenon and facilitating
cross-country comparisons. Moreover, the volume provides important
evidence about the dynamics and characteristics of school
segregation, which is key for the planning and implementation of
de-segregation policies.
