| Summary |
This book sets out to try to understand why segregated schooling still exists, especially in northern Italy in South Tyrol where they practice separate but equal education. Supported by the UN, the Austrian and Italian governments, the province is considered a peace model due to its consociational approach to dealing with the regions Nazi and Fascist past, which has led to a negative peace. The autonomy statutes, which derived from this peace, resulted in an education system that is linguistically segregated for the purposes of protecting South Tyrols ethnolinguistic minorities. Ann Wand is the Founder and Director of The Oxford Method, an online British university preparatory programme for international students interested in attending Britains top universities. She is also the Programme Manager for Customised Faculty led programmes in Oxford, England and Florence, Italy at the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) |
