Socially diverse schools: the miracle will not happen

Jean Hindriks, Brieuc Van Damme
Alarming finding: Belgium is the champion of segregation in the school system, leaving only Hungary behind. The impact is more or less the same in both communities. The notorious 'décret mixité', symbol of the political willingness to do something about this in French speaking Belgium, has made a lot of parents angry, and was ultimately withdrawn. Jean Hindriks and Brieuc Van Damme got some inspiration from the cities of New-York and Boston to suggest some measures that will lead to a consensus between all stakeholders in a quick and easy WAY.
