It is expected that the recent legislation, No. 20.845, on social inclusion in education, will increase the social mix within schools, which are currently highly segregated. The intergroup contact theory in social psychology suggests that positive effects occur, such as a decrease in prejudice and hostile attitudes, when social groups in conflict have direct contact. . This article provides some evidence of what happens in segregated schools and inclusive schools with respect to certain attitudes such as social tolerance, trust in people and coexistence among peers. Chilean data from the International Civic and Citizenship Study carried out in 2009, were used. In general, the results showed that students in inclusive schools have different attitudes from those of privileged segregated schools, but not so different from those who attend disadvantaged segregated schools.
