Definition[edit | edit source]

Roma education segregation refers to the systemic discrimination and exclusion of Roma children from receiving equal educational opportunities. This can manifest in various ways, such as being placed in special education programs, being segregated into separate schools or classes, or facing discrimination and prejudice from teachers and peers.

This segregation perpetuates a cycle of poverty and social exclusion for Roma communities, as education is a key factor in breaking the cycle of poverty and improving social and economic outcomes. Addressing Roma education segregation requires addressing underlying issues such as discrimination, poverty, and cultural biases, and working towards creating inclusive and equitable educational systems for all children.
