Discussion on "Recognition through Education, Cultural Rights and Data Collection" 2013, para. 61
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Durban Programme of Action urges States "to ensure equal access to education for all in law and in practice, and to refrain from any legal or any other measures leading to imposed racial segregation in any form in access to schooling". Enforced segregated schools not only violate the rights of people of African descent but also deprive the entire society of the opportunity to foster social cohesion and respect through the exchange of diverse views and experiences.
