Challenges and implications The Deracialisation & Migration of Learners in South African Schools study was conducted by the Human Sciences Research Council in 1999-2000 and raises a number of pertinent questions that require the attention of policy-makers, as well as drawing attention to the policies and best practices implementation in education provision. The project analysed demographic trends in learner enrolments following the end of formal racial segregation in schools, and paid particular attention to ways in which racially integrated schools respond to issues of race, language, religion and culture.
