Policies and Measures Targeting Segregation of Romani Children in Standard Education
Policies And Measures Targeting Segregation Of Romani Children In Standard Education

Summary/Abstract: The education of Romani children in separate pre-school and school facilities as well as in separate classes within schools with non-Roma children has been condemned as a severe form of discrimination and a factor for the exclusion of Roma from equal education opportunities. Acknowledgement of these problems by the governments of the five countries, however, has not resulted in systematic efforts to confront segregated education of Roma. Actions specifically aimed at eliminating physical separation of Roma and non- Roma in education are extremely limited and inconsistent, given the proportions of this problem and its impact on the quality of education provided to Roma.
