Opening pandora's box? Desegregation and Transformation in Six Elite Public Schools in the Western Cape Province of South Africa by Gordon, Timothy John

“…During the course of the study period, however, markedly different patterns emerged. The most important findings to materialise are the following: By the end of the study period markedly different levels of learner desegregation - from 29% to 99% learners of colour - were manifest across the sample schools; Despite notable learner desegregation in four schools, the desegregation of the governance, management and educator components in all the sample schools was limited; Three distinct 'eras' surfaced around the schools' desegregatory and transformational trajectories: - an immediate post-1990 period characterised by a preponderant intent to break the legal prohibition on the enrolment of learners of colour, manifesting in the assimilation of the new intake, the preservation of ethos and the perpetuation of traditional approaches; - a second era, encompassing the period 1997 to 2015, characterised by consolidation and conservation; and accompanied by the modulation of race as the critical segregationist criterion through the increasing stratification of schools by class; - a third era, provoked by the pressures of #Fallism and characterised by changing mindsets and approaches to school attributes as divergent as ritual, learner leadership and the provision of bursaries.  The two latter eras saw the commodification of education instilling a change in the provision of schooling as a prescribed public entitlement for residents within reasonable proximity to a school, to a commodity for private consumption aimed at those able to 'purchase' it through a contribution to the school's financial, social or performatory capital.  Whereas historico-political and racial discrimination has not been eradicated from school choice and learner selection processes, the study postulates that levels of desegregation and transformation are also influenced by features of the urban landscape like transport nodes and conduits; catchment area and feeder school demographies; racial configurations in contiguous suburbs; and the social drawing power or 'aura' (Tatar, 1995) of the schools.  Indeed, geographical location emerged as a considerable factor in desegregatory developments in schools. …”
