Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of high school pupils at English-medium
government schools towards integrated schooling. In addition the study aimed to determine
which biographical variables of the pupils were related to their attitudes towards integrated
schooling and whether the socio-economic status and level of integration of the schools were
associated with pupils attitudes. Finally, the study aimed to determine pupils' perceptions of the
dilficulties and benefits of school integration, as well as to elicit suggestions with regard to
facilitating the transition from segregated to multi-cultural education.
