| Wealthy migrant and Anglo families are "self-segregating" when they choose schools, with migrants shunning private schools in favour of the selective system and Anglo families doing the opposite, a leading researcher says.
These decisions were indicative of a wider problem across Sydney, with many schools more ethnically divided than the suburbs in which they were located, said University of Technology social scientist Christina Ho.
The trend was concerning because schools had a vital role to play in developing inter-cultural understanding in the community, Dr Ho said. "The increasing diversity of our communities is not reflected in our education system."
