| Title | UNEQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION OF ROMA IN ROMANIA: STRUCTURAL AND IMPLEMENTATION FLAWS OF THE SYSTEM |
| Summary | Despite the fact that the national minorities of Romania are granted protection via domestic and international law, Roma ethnic minority faces major discrimination. This thesis researches the causes and the relations between the educational policies for Roma and discrimination. The core argument of the thesis is that the inefficient implementation of educational policies is caused by the discrimination against Roma, allowing the Roma school segregation to be perpetuated. Three main stakeholders, the Romanian Ministry of Education, the National Council for Combating Discrimination and Romani CRISS NGO have been analyzed and interviewed in order to assess the causes in the inefficient implementation of the legislation on school desegregation. The analysis of primary and secondary data shows that the main stakeholders involved in the desegregation process are unable to develop and implement efficient strategies for monitoring and implementation of the desegregation legislation. This thesis concludes that the existing legislation is structurally sound from a legalistic point of view, but its implementation is inefficient due to the lack of resources of the main stakeholders involved in the process. Furthermore, the insufficient and inefficient monitoring process allows the Roma school segregation phenomenon to be further perpetuated. |
