| Title | Towards Inclusive Education: Addressing Educational Segregation of Roma Children in Hungary |
| Summary | The Roma, historically referred to as “Gypsies”, are the largest ethnic minority in Europe with an estimated 11 million individuals. In Hungary, the Roma minority make up approximately 8% of the population. They face continuous pervasive and systemic discrimination that profoundly affect their daily lives. This research addresses the urgent issue of educational segregation among Roma children in Hungary, emphasizing the indispensable role of equal access to quality education in combating inequality and discrimination. Comprehensive policy interventions and social transformations are essential in achieving desegregation in educational institutions, underscoring the significance of comprehending the diverse factors that contribute to the widespread segregation. The study highlights the importance of going beyond mere legal declarations and instead promoting social transformations through the active engagement and participation of the Roma community in their children's education, along with increasing the representation of Roma individuals in politics and educational policies. By examining the underlying causes of segregation and proposing effective reform strategies, this research strives to contribute to achieving a more inclusive and equitable educational landscape in Hungary. |
