Stadt und Bildung

Isabel Ramos Lobato, ILS researcher in the research group „Urban Social Space“ has written a contribution to the „Handbuch Stadtsoziologie“. The article illustrates the extent of social segregation in German elementary schools, the potential consequences of de-mixing in schools and which factors contribute to school segregation. This includes residential segregation patterns, individual education choice and institutional factors, such as admission regulations and school profiling. It uncovers that mixed neighborhoods do not lead automatically to mixed elementary schools: Children with different socio-economic backgrounds are even stronger segregated in school than in the quarters they grow up in. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-42419-0_30-1.
