Abstract

Over the past several decades, school choice has become a common feature of educational systems around the world. A consistent finding is that school choice policies tend to reproduce or even exacerbate patterns of segregation along the lines of class, race or ethnicity, immigration status, and/or achievement. Less evidence exists, however, about policies and practices that could result in social and economic integration within school choice systems. This panel presents evidence on the policies and politics of integration efforts in school choice systems from four different countries. Together, the papers offer a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities for integration in the context of school choice and a valuable comparative perspective that is often absent in educational policy research.
