Some parents in Bosnia do not allow their children to go to ethnically-mixed schools, B92 has learned. In the town of Tomislavgrad in Herzegovina, first-grade pupils of Croat ethnicity have been forced to quit school since their parents do not allow them to attend so-called mixed classes, together with pupils of Bosniak ethnicity. Bosnia: Ethnically-mixed schools face problems Unfortunately, this example is not an isolated case. In the Bosnian Federation there are 54 schools split into two sections, so that Croat teachers and pupils function are segregated from their Bosniak companions. Despite warnings issued by the OSCE Mission in Bosnia, these schools have not seen integration take place at the beginning of the school year. OSCE spokeswoman Mersiha Causevic-Podzic says that as a result of this, pupils are only superficially acquainted with members of other ethnical groups in their neighborhoods. Bosniak elementary pupils in the town of Capljina do not attend classes in the elementary school premises, but in the town’s high school, as local politicians continue to pursue segregation, claiming that incidents might occur if children of different ethnicities meet in the same elementary school. Their parents, who used to go to the same school, say they do not understand such logic.
