| Title | Widening participation: Romanian Roma participation in higher education |
| Summary | The thesis provides an analysis on the existing social inclusion policies within the Romanian higher education (HE) system, with a focus on the Roma minority. It uses the social inclusion principles of access, participation and success in order to explain the ‘widening participation’ effect. A special focus in this paper is directed towards the factors that are influencing in a positive way Romanian Roma access in higher education, access being a prerequisite for participation. The approach used in this regard is to follow the policy implementers and policy targets and to determine their influence, impact and role. In this respect there were conducted interviews with the main policy implementers and 100 surveys with Roma. In the conclusion part I argue that besides the role and impact of policy-makers and existing social inclusion framework within the Romanian higher education system, the most crucial factors influencing Romanian Roma participation in higher education refer to the role and impact of universities, NGOs working on Roma education and of the main scholarship providers. |
