'Education by ethnicity'
"Some are using this position to cream off pupils from certain ethnic backgrounds or religions, thus reducing interaction and increasing racial tensions," Mr Johnson claimed.
"If schools are judged solely on the academic results of pupils, it's hardly surprising that they are selecting white, middle-class pupils, who have more opportunities and are more likely to succeed.
"This is creating a culture of 'education by ethnicity'," he added.
