Description
Children in schools in developed countries come from culturally diverse backgrounds. They may relate harmoniously or in a hostile way to each other and reflect inequalities in society as a whole. Through the study of nine, culturally diverse secondary schools, their staff and organization, structures and interactive processes, the authors show how the quality of relationships within schools can be influenced, taking into account policy and procedural practices. The authors point the way to a more systematic and proactive approach to fostering good inter-school relationships. This book should be useful for those involved in teaching, and for parents and others interested in, and responsible for, education in plural societies in the UK and elsewhere.
