EDUCATION IN A COLORED SOCIETY 

Diversity and quality education can go hand in hand. There is sufficient scientific evidence for this. This is shown by many examples of schools at home and abroad. Unfortunately, you will hardly find it in the textbooks and courses that should prepare future generations of professionals, from teachers to school leaders and from social workers to policy makers. In fact, much of what you read has to be scrapped. Or did you think that racism is a matter of 'bad guys' and that young children don't discriminate against each other? That we should not dwell too much on racial differences and that race does not exist? That students would learn Dutch on their own? That ethnic inequality only has to do with poverty and exclusion? Think again. This book, based on a strongly scientifically substantiated story about contemporary challenges in education, helps you to capture an extended view. And the reader is also inspired by well-founded  practical examples to change course yourself.
