New publication about segregation in Dutch schools
April 15, 2025
The Dutch national Knowledge Centre for Mixed schools was founded in 2007 by the coalition government which was planning a policy to combat school segregation.
The Centre’s goals are:
(1) to collect all available knowledge about combating school segregation( from research, policy and practice), and to help developing new knowledge;
(2) to distribute relevant (parts of) that knowledge through all available channels to all actors involved (local and national governments and politicians, school boards and school teams, parents and elder students); and
(3) to contribute to the social and political debate about school segregation and mixed schools.
The Knowledge Centre is an independent organisation with a network of experts. During the first years the Centre received money from the Ministry of Education (also to support pilot activities in 12 cities). After the national government stopped financing the Centre, local governments became the main clients of the Centre.
It has recently published a report about the Dutch situation regarding school segregation is on the website,
The paper is written by the coordinator of the Knowledge Centre, Guido Walraven, and Willem Boterman, assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam.
