Is there any de facto segregation in schools that still occurs--legally, systematically or due to economic divisions and locations of where people live? That has happened here in the US. Our legalized segregation system ended over 40 years ago but now schools are more segregated than ever because blacks tend to move to certain areas and wealthier middle class whites tend to live in other areas and move when non-whites start moving into their neighborhood for fear that their home value will decrease. Schools ARE mixed here but--for example there are 5 major secondary schools in my town and one of them has probably 80% of the non-whites.
