The relationship between education and diversity has been brought into sharp focus in Britain and beyond, where research has pointed to a dynamic between social fragmentation and separate schooling for different ethnic/faith groups. Sir Herman Ouseley (2001), in a review of race relations in Bradford, argued that ‘virtual apartheid’ between schools has led to polarisation, racial tension and a failure to prepare children adequately for life in a multi-ethnic society.
