Frankenburg, Erica – Equity Assistance Center Region II, Intercultural Development Research Association, 2018

Wildsmith-Cromarty, Rosemary; Balfour, Robert J. – Language Teaching, 2019
South Africa's history of segregation and the privileging of English and Afrikaans as the only languages of teaching and learning beyond primary schooling, make the post-apartheid period a complex one, especially in light of the Constitutional commitment to multilingualism in the 11 official languages.

Archbald, Doug; Hurwitz, Andrew; Hurwitz, Felicia – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2017
In 1975, a court-ordered busing program was launched to desegregate the schools of New Castle County, Delaware. It was by many accounts one of the most significant and successful desegregation programs in the nation (Armor & Rossell, 2002; Orfield, 2014; Raffel, 1980). In 1995, the districts of the county were declared "unitary" and…
