DeSegregACTION
Action against segregation
OpenWhat is DeSegregAction?
Within the European context, levels of school segregation in Catalonia have been very high for many years, with no signs of improvement. These high levels lead to a low overall educational attainment and a high degree of inequality.
The DeSegregAction project continuously monitors levels of school segregation at municipal and national level and promotes actions that encourage the different public institutions to deploy effective desegregation measures.
Below you will find the main materials and documents of the project, which we invite you to read:
