| Title | Overrepresentation of Roma in special education in Hungary |
| Summary | The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the segregation of Roma children into special education is not just discriminatory for the career of the children but very costly for the society central budget as well. If the potential abilities and skills of the misdiagnosis children are developed adequately instead of segregation, they will have a greater chance to obtain a secondary school degree and to find a job and it would lead to increase tax revenue in the long - term. This paper advocates for clarification of the line between children with learning and behavioral difficulties and children who are mildly disabled. By improving the distinction between these categories Hungary can decrease the number of students who are classified as mildly handicapped so that it is in line with other OECD nations. |
