According to a recent report by Amnesty International, 43% of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma children are taught in ethnically segregated classes. The Slovak \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgovernment is responsible for this situation by that tolerating or even promoting \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsegregation practices. The government defends itself by pointing out at the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tusually very poor Slovak spoken by Rroma, making a separate teaching a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnecessity. Critics, however, see this as an excuse to comply with the wishes of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tethnic Slovaks to teach their children separately from those of the Rroma. Individual \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tjudgments, as in Pre\u0161ov in October 2012, are a sign of the will of a dedicated group \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twithin the country to abolish segregation. Currently though, this still seems \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto be the common practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Pester \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLloyd (2013) points out in a recent article about similar practices in Hungary: \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe opening of a new public elementary school was only announced by personal \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinvitation solely to parents of Magyar origin. Rroma parents were intentionally \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texcluded from the welcome letter. The County J\u00e1sz-Nagykun-Szolnok has, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\taccording to the Pester Lloyd, the highest segregation rate in the country. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNumerous court decisions condemning ethnic segregation of children in primary \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tschools have changed nothing on the prevalence of this practice. The authors \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talso condemn the distorting representations of the Hungarian Rroma politic by \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHungarian Members of the European Parliament: Livia Jaroka, the Fidesz Roma \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trepresentative in the European Parliament, talks about the immense progress in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe integration of the Rroma. But whether this has indeed improved, needs to be \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcritically examined. The Pester Lloyd points out to an issue that is given too \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tlittle attention: To what extent integration programs actually bear fruit is very \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tlittle researched and documented. What counts is the public statement that \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsomething is being done.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Der Standart (2013) Tausende Roma-Sch\u00fcler in getrennten Klassen.
