"The access of Roma children throughout Europe to equal education is extremely limited, and many do not attend school at all. Those children that do go to school are systematically put into segregated schools or ‘special classes’ for the disabled, which are characterised by inferior quality of instruction and inadequate physical conditions. In some countries over 60% of Roma children are in special schools or remedial learning programmes as a result of inadequate teaching and testing methods.
Commissioner Figel’ has often accentuated the fact that education is the very best strategy for integration. I believe that the EU should not only provide a basis upon which to enhance discussion of the topic, but it should also channel it towards a European strategy on Roma rights. Preventing the marginalisation of the Roma must be the goal, and the tool – education – is accessible already, yet it is not efficiently used.
Segregation is a tool of disintegration and it costs the European taxpayers a lot. Especially in the light of demographic changes, the Roma could be recognised as a source of economic potential if governments were to take the steps necessary to allow Roma to realise their potential through education and access to the labour market."@en1
