Equal Access to Quality Education for Roma Volume 1-2.

Fülszöveg

The Roma are one of Europe's largest and most vulnerable minorities. Throughout Europe, Roma remain excluded from many aspects of society, denied their rights and entrenched in poverty. The "Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015" is an unprecedented international effort to combat discrimination and to close the gap in welfare and living conditions between Roma and non-Roma, in order to break the cycle of poverty and exclusion. The initiative is supported by the Open Society Institute (OSI) and the World Bank, and endorsed by nine Central and Eastern European countries. Education is one of the four main areas of the Decade, and the particular problems faced by Roma in accessing quality educational opportunities have been widely recognised.
This series of EUMAP reports on "Equal Access to Quality Education for Roma" builds on previous EUMAP reports on the situation of Roma in Europe. It has been prepared in collaboration with OSI's Education Support Program (ESP) and Roma... Tovább

This series of EUMAP reports on "Equal Access to Quality Education for Roma" builds on previous EUMAP reports on the situation of Roma in Europe. It has been prepared in collaboration with OSI's Education Support Program (ESP) and Roma Participation Program (RPP). The reports aim to support the Decade goals on education, and to establish a framework for regular monitoring throughout the Decade, as well as to promote consultation with Roma communities on education issues. They provide an assessment of the state of implementation of Government education policies for Roma, data on key education indicators, and case studies on selected communities.
This first volume of reports covers four countries: Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Serbia. Further volumes in the series will be published later in 2007; these will cover the other countries in the Decade - Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Macedónia, Montenegro and Slovakia — plus an overview report resuming the main findings across all the countries.
