Slovakia: Segregation

Published by:

The Roma Monitoring Report, prepared for the European Commission notes several cases of blatant segregation in the Slovak school system. Children are put in special school (nothing new), and teachers of such schools were even documented offering bribes to the parents to get the children in their schools.

Clearly, these schools do not do much in matters of education.
SHAME!
