From the Paper:

"Policies and the structures of an institution may also affect the interaction amongst the groups institutionalized racism. In traditionally organized schools, relations between students of different cultural backgrounds were usually superficial and often aggressive.
"In coactive learning, students of diverse races and cultures works mutually in groups, which receive rewards, apperception, or appraisal on the basis to which extent they can improve their academic performance individually.
"In our institutions we have diverse classrooms. Students having an alike cultural heritage do not mean that they are all similar. They may dress alike or they might be bond in a systems compelling them to do things like others however if the are provided the chance, most of the high school students will disclose their dissimilarities. The main thing is to provide them a chance. Now taking into account these factors it is a challenge for the teacher to be able enough to effectively distinguish and value the aesthetic ways that students feel free to express themselves and to effectively take advantage of their actions, words, or habits to argue on issue of diversity.
