Elsewhere on this website, I referred to the Integrated Education Fund in Northern Ireland, where parents have had to raise funds to enable their children to experience integrated education.

Now a new college in Mostar offers students a chance to learn side by side with young people from other ethnic groups.

Somehow, the British politicians who are so anxious to defend faith schools just don’t seem to see the relevance of other countries’ segregated education systems, and the effect they’ve had on “social cohesion”.
