Summary:

Rainbow High School, an English medium school located in Johannesburg has vastly changed since South Africa's 1994 post-election period. Whereas it used to be an Afrikaans medium school with predominantly white learners and teaching faculty, by 2000 its population shifted to having 80% people of colour. This development in demographics has caused issues of racial conflicts and violence over the last few years, which prompts the school's principal to take action and reach out to a diversity management expert. The case examines the collaborative efforts between the consulting expert and her team and the school's staff members to create a project that will bring everyone in agreement on strategies regarding issues of diversity in Rainbow High School.
