| Title | Comparative analysis of the impact of ECHR and EU legislation of school segregation of Roma children in the Czech Republic and Slovakia |
| Summary | The aim of the research is to examine and compare the impact of the European Court of Human Rights and EU legislation on the de-segregation of Roma children in primary education in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. While both countries are Member of the EU and have similar legislation and educational system, the Czech Republic was the subject of the ECHR ruling D.H. and Others v. the Czech Republic, while Slovakia was not. Both countries have adopted new amendments to their School Acts in 2015 as a reaction to infringement procedures started by the European Commission for breaching anti-discrimination legislation. The amendments of the School Acts in the Czech Republic and Slovakia are supposed to tackle the problem of segregation of Roma children in primary education and lead to inclusive education. Nevertheless, most of the measures are only formal measures, with some exceptions. The Czech Republic has adopted measures that have a higher potential to solve the current situation than those adopted by Slovakia. Both countries’ systems and current amendments tackle the segregation only in the system of special schooling, while the question of segregated Roma schools and classes remains unaddressed. Therefore, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia have to take numerous measure towards de-segregation and inclusive education. |
